Instead of buying a house and then the trawler, why not just go for the trawler? We lived on ours for ten years and it was better than we ever had imagined. That said, I just happen to have a nice Grand Banks Trawler for sale in Jacksonville. You can see it on Yachtworld, she is Kindred Spirit III, listed by Curtis Stokes & Associates.

If you want to be oriented to the cruising waters, I suggest looking south of the city, down US 17 toward Green Cove Springs and perhaps beyond. There?s a gradation from urban to suburban to rural, so you can fine tune your choices. Also look on the east side of the St. Johns river at St. Augustine, which goes completely across from the better-know ocean side. > > As mentioned, the St. Johns river is an outstanding cruising area.

January and February can go down below freezing regularly, although it doesn?t last too long. It?s certainly milder than the Carolinas or most of Georgia. > > ?
