Suwannee River
 
The weather today was just too nice to not take a boat ride. I've been using my 20 most of the summer, and I needed to blow the cobwebs out of the motor on the 25. A few pics:

I wondered if a sturgeon could jump higher than the bow of a 25.


Very nice looking area, great passengers, too.

Sturgeon jumping season is pretty much over this year, most have already headed out to the Gulf it would seem.. We only saw two or three in 15 miles of river. You don't usually see them more than about 4' out of the water. I'm comfortable in the 25, and even in the 20sf, but I don't usually take the Action Craft on the river during the summer.

Brings new meaning to Action Craft.

Insofaras where he is on the Suwannee, I can tell you that the old railroad bridge is a mile or two from Fanning Springs. Where he is boating is fairly safe. When you get north of Branford the river can be tretcherous, especially if the water is down. Been boating on the river all my life, planning a trip as I type. Parents live in Suwannee, where you stay Blue?

Passed right by there this weekend. Saw EggSuckingDog tied to the dock behind the Gables. Good to see your still kicking, hope you got the powerhead sorted out..:eek: Good turnout of go-fasts. Dixon was the only Seacraft in sight this time and I was keeping an eye out for you Blue on the off chance...

I didn't make it to the water this past weekend. We had a wedding to attend and prior to that I did some work on a friend's newly acquired 23 Center Console. It had motor issues, but I think we've got them sorted out. Probably be on the river this weekend.

BTW, you have the location right. The train trestle crosses the river near Old Town.
