Blackwater
Inn Dock
"There is nothing—absolutely nothing—half so much
worth doing as simply messing about in boats." —Kenneth
Grahame
We
had a very short trip today...less than two miles around a few bends in the
river. We moved from our quiet anchorage to the dock at the Blackwater Inn, a
restaurant on the river that allows docking if you dine with them. They also
provide water and electricity for a small fee. We were getting a little low on
water and decided to pay the fee to fill up and give our batteries a chance to
fully charge up. The dock was fun, we had a large pier with a gazebo and we
were just steps from lunch. But we also had the noise from the nearby bridge.
It seemed loader than others we've docked by...I guess we noticed it more since
we've had such quiet anchorages and docks lately. We have really gotten used to
the quiet night with only the birds and frogs to listen to.
St.John’s River Tours leaves from the other side of the dock and we had fun
visiting with the tour guest and the captain. It was also fun to watch the activity
on the river from our flybridge. The majority of the boats on the river our
pontoon boats, party boats, I call them. Some are fixed up with little
kitchens, bars and grills...a fun way for people to spend a day on the river.
