Recently, the Salty Southeast Cruisers’ Net published an article about the free city dock at Welaka, Florida, and other nearby attractions in this delightful river village (see /?p=108289). Unfortunately, Captain Carolyn reports below that the old Mariner’s Museum in Welaka has now been auctioned off, after being closed for some time.
So, there’s still plenty of reason to coil your lines at the free city dock in Welaka, but don’t do it for a visit to the Mariner’s Museum.

Good Morning, Claiborne
I thought you might find this information useful for posting to Cruiser’s Net. The Maritime Museum in Welaka, FL, on the St. Johns River, has been closed for some time and is now being offered at absolute auction this week. From what I’ve read on Cruiser’s Net, many cruisers have enjoyed their visit to this attraction. I regret not having done so myself. I have included the link for the article in today’s (March 13th) “Palatka Daily News”.

Good thoughts are being sent your way for both you and your wife.
