While living on a houseboat on the St. John’s River in Putnam County, Florida, I was fascinated by the variety of floating vessels that travelled up and down the river. This particular boat was kept at the marina during summer and the owners would then travel down in winter to take her down to Bahamas. Because she was a steel-hulled boat a careful eye had to be kept on. The waters are brackish in this part of the St. Johns River, which has direct access to the Atlantic Ocean.
