Lazy day jet skiing by myself on the Winter Park chain of lakes. Rain was everywhere so didn't bother taking the boat out or rallying a crowd. Downpoured as soon as I put the ski back on the trailer.

Wekiva Island Park. We were NOT supposed to be there on Jet Ski's but that was our goal/turn around point. Didn't stick around to have fun, obviously.

River is flooded. There's usually 6+ ft of headroom under the bridge

Thank you.

Other pics from the weekend. Boring to not have a gf right now, but it's nice to ride the ski without the passenger.

Saturday. Water is a little high on the St Jonhs...

I had a great time on the St Johns a couple weeks ago. I can't wait to do it again.

They keep expanding venues! By the time you come back there's going to be at least 5 more spots to dock at and chill around Sanford. It's turning into quite the boaters hotspot.

Being a former Maine resident, I will never go back to that again. I enjoy mid 80's in October.

I didn't even get a chance to see Sanford. I launched at the west end of Lake Monroe and went North from there. Loved it. BTW, it only took 3.5 hours to cruise from Lake Monroe to Welaka. The no-wake zones through Ocala Nat. Forrest were not as bad as I expected, and we enjoy a little put-put time anyway.

You'd love Sanford area. Immediately available to boat docking:
4 "American" style river restaurants that normally have live bands, DJ's.
One Deli
One Pizza parlor
Hair salon
Swimming pool with DJ (If you're a marina member or pay $20 for a pool key if non member)

Dock at city public docks in downtown Sanford they just installed, and you're a 5-10 minute walk from over 10+ restaurants, bars, wine bars, antique shops, etc, etc.

Late this year, early next a big outdoor bar/live music venue is building a boat dock on the lake to get traffic. That's going to be a big deal.

Pretty much the city of Sanford has focused on building marine tourism.
