Florida Great Loop

I think it would be cool to go from the headwaters of the St.Johns to Jax. It may even be possible to go from the St Sebastian river to the canals and stick marsh area, into those head waters. So then, in theory you could go down the gulf to Lake Okeecobee, up the Indian river and work your way back inland. You would probably have to downsize some, as the boat would have to be carried over a few obstacles.

The headwaters of the St. John's is actually the swamps/savannah's west of Ft. Pierce, so what you'd really need to do that is an airboat! There is a nice video of the St John's that was done some years ago by some folks that explored the river and it's tributary from Jacksonville to at least Sanford, using a houseboat and some ultralight seaplanes that got some really neat aerial videos. You should be able to find it with a Google Search of "St. John's River exploration".
