Interested in getting an overview of sailing areas & conditions for cruising in Jacksonville & area (size of protected sailing areas, interesting destinations etc.) in February, March & April. Also interested in recommendations for possible monthly slip rentals. Would be interested in comparison between sailing around Jacksonville & sailing around Miami in Biscayne Bay. Thankyou.

Depending on your draft and mast height, you can have a good cruise on the St.Johns River,( limited by a 44' bridge just south of Green Cove Springs) from Jax all the way to Sanford, sailing on the wider portions and motoring in the narrow parts. I did this in a Hunter 26 in February 2004, launching at Palatka, going down river to Jax, upstream to Sanford and then returning to Palatka. Good time, interesting places and people, but still slightly chilly in February.
