Well it's finally here. Our last day. Johanthan and I elected to take out at different locations. He headed to Sanford and the Lake Monroe public boat ramp where his family would pick him up. I choose to go up the Wekiva River because Wekiva Island is only a mile from my home. Its a 15 mile run up river. The Wekiva has a good flow to it and can be a little tricky to navigate due to submerged logs and and lots of eel grass getting rapped around the prop. But its a place I know very well so I was sure it would be a relaxing trip.
Not really much to report. Just a few pictures of the river, Wekiva Falls and arriving at Wekiva Marina.Total time to get up the river was just over 4 hours. Distance was 15.1 miles. I arrived at noon just a head of some light rain.

Thanks for reading my trip blog. I had a lot of fun making the trip and sharing it. A big thanks to Johnathan for inviting me along. I would have never considered a trip of this magnitude on the St Johns. Especially the distance covered. I learned a lot about Sea Pearl 21 sailboats and the St Johns too.
