Astor Bridge, Acosta Creek and Georgetown Marinas on the St. John's River

Image
Suzsea chased lizards at every stop. This was at Hontoon Island Two Fishermen @ Hontoon Island Gators are everywhere on the river Lots of odd boats on the River. Most boaters are respectful of the no wake zones, except the weekenders can get rowdy We saw this boat several times and it appears to be homemade This river front bar and grill has issues. we do not recommend it  See  http://tinyurl.com/ozxo5bf The creeks off the river are awesome adventures. Astor Creek Marina is a good stop to explore from.  Blue Creek and other creeks are worth the trip and time to visit Blue Creek is across from Murphy's Creek and bot are accessible by dink or small craft. Across from Astor Bridge Marina is a fuel stop with some supplies. The nice people will take grocery orders for you.  The entrance to Astor Bridge Marina shows the rotting side of the grill. Georgetown Marina exposed to wakes from speeding fishermen. ...

Sunset @ Boat Tree Marina looking East from the Cafe. We enjoyed our stay at Boat Tree. Kristy made us feel welcome and helped us with any question we had. Kristy took care of us! We would have stayed except we had issues with the dock and safety.  http://www.boattreemarina.com/ The river is very pretty this time of the year. We were at Boat Tree for February , March, April and left to explore the lower river in May The docks are teak and extremely worn and in sad shape This is the E Dock where we found room on a 50 ft dock. The finger piers on the 40 ft docks are too short to get on and off on the side.  Suzsea met a friend that could almost be her daughter.  The catfish are like the turtles almost tame Lots of neat places on the river to explore This wooden boat is abandoned Needs Work! Rayna and Suzsea on E dock You have to watch your step on the dock as temporary repair plates and missing, broken and rotted places ...
