Please be advised it is the Saint John River in New Brunswick. There
are other near namesakes (St. John's River, etc.) spread between New
Found Land, and Florida.

Several major features of this river have not been mentioned: Grand
Lake and Washdemoak Lake being two, each of which is worthy of a week
of exploration and fishing, etc. The reversing falls are so unique
that I am surprised they don't constitute more of an attraction.

The harbour in St. John, outside the falls, with it's public dock and
walking access to the farmer's market are another, while the river
itself is delightfully tranquil and picturesque and has many public
docks between it's mouth and Fredericton. Gagetown is also a popular
arts colony, with all the comforts any sailor might require, including
a delightful pub, the Old Boot, next to the docks.

Many of the Marble Head to Halifax race crowd make an annual side trip
to Grand lake's Douglas Harbour every year, for good reason.

I have sailed hereabouts for over 10 years. My boat has a mooring in
Evandale, in my cottage's front yard. Watch out for cable ferries,
hail on 16, and pass behind.
