In always preferred it going its natural silver gray. But if for some reason you don't want that, I like Semco the best. You see it used a lot on sportfishermen cockpits and coaming boards where it really takes a beating. A friend's Gulfstar has it in Natural on the railings; looks good and...

Take your time it is a beautiful cruise. Stop along the way and smell the figurative roses, so to speak, of which there are many. There have been a few detailed threads on your subject here in recent weeks.

Actually the pilothouse peeks above the containers about midship. Fortunately it ran into sand and shallows prior to striking the edge of the canal, which is also relatively soft.

I screwed around with a variety of LED providers and finally settled on Marinebeam for very high quality, and great very knowledgeable personal service. Based in South Carolina and they know boat-related lighting and electrical issues extremely well. You can even call them and get very helpful...

According to reports a dredge was dispatched as well, in case it is needed. There is a whole lot more money involved there than there was in Brunswick.

Used to be a nice anchorage right off the historic Fort Matanzas. I know there have been some issues with the ICW there in recent years. Hopefully some locals will chime in, and you could call your towing company for advice as well.

Geez, they didn't even have PFDs!

At least as far as Palatka, and it is moderate.

Inevitably the cure is to pull them out and completely rebed them. Here is one tutorial: https://www.yachtsurvey.com/WindowRepair.htm

I suppose it is beautiful running a boat up from there, of whatever size or kind you find a way of getting there to start with. Just don't ask anyone what that might be.

Agree with all this. Anchor the big boat off St Mary's though. I was more thinking of someone who was in Jacksonville and wanted to go to the beach, for which a car is easiest. Cumberland is the best bet if taking your boat; beautiful.

Jacksonville Beach is nice, you have to drive there or better yet drive or boat up to Amelia Island.

We drew 5' and had no issues. Check out the charts I linked.
