As we're very far from there, you have some specific recommendations,
I presume?

Thanks...

Skip,, I will look for the info,, can't seem to find it just now.

I friend told me he left his boat on the St John river, St Augustine, Fla.
He said it was a good
spot to leave, on the hard. Not too expensive and all.

I have his email here somewhere..

He's looking for something in Lauderdale or Miami as I understand it.

There is a lot of dockage available in Lauderdale at private homes.
I'd start by checking the local classifieds and Craig's list.

There are also some backwater marinas in Lauderdale that may offer
halfway reasonable rates but some are west of the 55 ft bridge on the
New River. If unstepping the mast is a possibility, many other
options become available east of Lake Okeechobee in the Port St Lucie
area.

There's dockage in Ft. Lauderdale behind homes, but you can't stay aboard.
You might be able to squeek out a day or two, but it's become very
difficult to find anywhere to dock a boat and stay on it, even for a few
days while you get it ready to leave.

Unless they moved it, the St. John's River isn't anywhere near St.
Augustine. I seem to recall the St. Sebastian River running behind St.
Augustine, and there was some talk about locating Jacksonville on the St.
John's at one time.

The St. Johns is one of the (if not *the*) longest northn-flowing
rivers in the country. It may well go to STA...

See my coming post on resolution...

Even so, it's not very long. And it doesn't get near St. Augustine.

I made the trip up (i.e., "down") the St. John's once all the way to Sanford
FL. There's a lake there and a small marina, but I will tell you that there
aren't too many cruising sailboats. One reason is the 45' bridge at Green
Cove Springs. Another is that this is bass fishing and 'gator country, and
there's not much sailing along this route.

There's a lot of nature and beautiful country along the route, but one
particularly memorable incident was my discovery near Palatka of The Burger
King Dock. That's right, the local fast food franchise has a rear dock on
the river where you can tie and get fat. Quite interesting.
