CaptainForce is on a distinguished road
This area has been our homeport since '72. There's a good anchorage at the east side of Blount Island 200-300yds. up "Old River" near the houses on the starboard just past the manatee sign. There's plenty of room to stay out of the way of the large commercial traffic. The Main St. Bridge, as referenced above is not on an "on the hour" schedule, but will open on request except for morning and afternoon weekday high traffic hours,- 7-9am & 4-6pm. Just past this bridge to starboard is a floating city dock with free docking for up to 72 hours. The tide range south of Jax decreases to 3' and 2' nearer Green Cove Springs. 'take care and joy, Aythya crew
