Yes, on the river and there is a ramp there. I think they charge $5.00, I think. I put in once to change trailers. Go through town heading north. Keep right when you get to the fork. It's up a few miles on the right. Back down the road but I think there is a good sign.

I am out....way too much on my plate right now.

Great day of boating on the St. Johns River. Logged 166 miles today, lunch stop was Renegades on the river between Welaka and Georgetown.

It was good too see some old faces and meet some new ones. Ride in the 14 baby was fun, thanks Bert. GCarter unfortunately had some serious trailer issues getting here and never splashed. Hope he got home OK.

To say I was frustrated would be an understatement! I had spared no expense on rebuilding
the trailer. It's not that I don't know how to pack bearings, but I'll take the blame as I used
nothing but the best Timkin bearings, seals, and their special grease. Up until Saturday,
I had only put about 30 miles on the trailer. It's only about 3 miles to the local ramp.
My thanks to Bert Harris for helping me. It was pretty warm, 88*, and I'm not sure I
could have got it done as easily w/out him. He's a stand up guy who spent the day helping
me instead of boating.
It was also good to finally meet Dick Bipes who has recently moved to south central Florida
from the far north. Also it my first time to meet Greg K.
