We stayed at one of three free docks set up by the City of Jacksonville and decided to take a ride up the St.John’s river. We got as far as Green Cove Springs. Many of our fellow cruisers are aware of St Brendan’s Isle, on Walnut Street. Surprisingly, 411 Walnut Street does not really exist. The building at that location has instructions for tracking down SBI, which is really a car ride away. Oh well, we will catch up with them on another day. We’ve been told that the St. John’s becomes much more picturesque and nature filled further on south, but we did not really have the time to spend to get much further in, on this trip. We will give it another chance in the future. At Green Cove Springs, there is another inexpensive municipal dock. Good depth at the dock, but a bit difficult to find and some skinny water on the way in to the dock. Once in, we searched for quite a while in the local municipal park for a place to pay; we discovered the next day on the way out that there is a small post box behind the gate on the steps leading up to the fishing pier to leave your payment. Very nice park area near the dock, but not much to do in town.
