Green Cove Springs??????
I used to live aboard my Coronado 35 sailboat at Green Cove Springs, Florida at the old Navy docks! The great secret about that location is the DO-IT-YOURSELF Yard and that is one of the best places to find a bargain on a boat. I was there back in the mid-1980's when the marina was fairly new. Today, areas around the docks have shoaled in and its tough for deep keeled boats to get and out for the lift. Back in my days, they has a cool little restaurant and the place was managed by a young couple. I was there last year checking the place out and along side the road leading to one of the many long concrete docks was a Space Shuttle long fuel pod the shuttle attached to. The one that lost its foam coating! Interesting place.
