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. It is December 1st, and as I look out the window, its crystal clear and about 65°. Winter in Florida is perfect for boating. Lamb's Yacht Center is approximately 5 miles south of downtown Jacksonville, just off the St. Johns River. At this point, the St. Johns is 2 to 3 miles wide and is easily navigable for 150 miles upstream to Sanford. (Sailors take note, there is a 45' fixed bridge just before our marina and another at Green Cove Springs, about 20 miles to the south). For the cruising yachtsman, a leisurely week+ cruise to Sanford and back is a great way to experience the old, natural Florida. Ospreys nested on top of markers, egrets along the shore, deep creeks to explore and quiet coves for an overnight, it is nature at its best. With our full service facility (in-house, ABYC certified technicians) we can attend to all your service needs from routine to refit while you restock at the large shopping center a short 2 blocks away. Give us a call to schedule a visit and learn more about the great cruising up the lazy river on the old St. Johns.
