• Description:

  11 9 2023 technically in no wake zone between all the bridges and the lights of the city are a beautiful site to see. Had a peaceful restful night. Winds were light. Some noise from the roads but we are used to city noise. Good holding no issues with the current. We anchored on the marker. Easy access to shore close by YMCA, Jacksonville landings, public dock by Ruth Chris and river-walk. Most boats actually do observe the no wake zone :) After we anchored here for the night we went over to the dock at the YMCA and got a nice swim in before departing.
