Best of luck on your river trip...........sure hope it turns out better than the one two buddies and I just crawled back from. We took off for the St. Johns River (just below Jacksonville Fl) last Sunday morning early pulling a 24 ft Pontoon with the plan to put in just below J-ville and cruise down to Astor and beyond and then make the return trip over a week. If you've paid attention to the weather you know there has been a hard blow coming from the ne . It got dicey when we tried to cross Lake George- a 6 mile wide and 11 mile long lake that has an average depth of 8-9 feet . The wind out of the ne at about 25+mph gave us a following wake, but got progressively rougher as we went south. We finally turned around and backtracked to Georgestown Marina and the old veteran marina manager told us "good thing you turned back cause they were having 5 foot rolling waves on the south end,and that we might have had some problems!!!" Great trip while it lasted though........no water level problems, and rain like we have forgotten about!! Has any one on here ever taken this trip before, if so any similiar experiences?
