WELCOME TO THE CAPTAIN'S CORNERThe
Captain's Corner is intended to provide information regarding boating
in general. With the help of our own Downing Nightingale, Jr., we can
tap into his mind to find out his take on important issues and
concepts. You just might learn something you never knew. Spring Cruise Tip Puxitony Phil has been charged for giving a false prediction of an early spring. However late, spring is officially here.
Why go? Don’t go if you don’t want to see osprey (not to be confused by the occasional bald eagle), herons, egrets, ibis, stately oaks and towering cypress trees, turtles and gators sunning along the shore and manatees feeding in the grass beds. Welaka is known as the bass fishing capital of the world. Don’t be in a rush. Kick back and savor the real Florida. Navigation: From Jacksonville to Sanford is roughly 150 miles with a minimum draft of 10 feet. For sailboats there is a 45 foot fixed bridge 20 miles south of Jacksonville. Stop at Lambs and we have additional St. Johns cruising information and will help you plan your trip up the lazy river. Lamb’s still has a few covered slips (about the ONLY ONES) in north Florida available to protect your varnish, paint and gelcoat. Call our Harbormaster for special introductory rates. Our experienced and ABYC certified staff can take care of your all your boating needs from your small fishing skiff to your 100+’ cruiser.
