    Things are moving along at an even faster "clip" these days. Still
    looking at property and boats and it is getting more than a bit
    crazy. In places where we think we might like to live on land, my
    wife is putting us on slip waiting lists (boat we're looking for is
    33 LOD and 41 LOA & alternates are close to that which would probably
    extend the wait time) so we will be higher on the list when the boat
    arrives.

    Anyone familiar with the Green Cove Springs Marina on the St Johns
    River near Jacksonville, FL.? What can you tell me about the marina
    and the area including how far it is to the ocean? I understand it is
    a working yard but is _quite_ far inland with bow to stern mooring on
    and old navy finger pier. Tidal range? River current? Proximity to
    shopping facilities? Pros and cons about mooring/living/working there
    and in the area? Landside property values and development? Weather
    concerns (hurricanes/tornadoes)? Have I missed anything?

    TIA

    Rick

    PS:
    Thanks for all the info about living afloat with eye care needs. I'm
    taking this info and discussing it with my doctor to see what can be
    done to allow me/us to function well in the worst conditions. Maybe
    what we need is set of goggles with an exhaust fan and wipers? ;-)
