We had originally hoped to travel all the way to Sanford, FL which is about as far south that a boat our size can travel on the river but we were not able to get in the marina there as they are still recovering from hurricane Ian and had relocated a lot of boats to the marina. There were a few other places we wanted to visit but, after being told by a couple of other marinas along the way that the water was too low for us to get in, we decided to head back north and explore these areas by car. We debated continuing on and anchoring and using our dinghy to get to shore but ultimately decided that we did not want to leave the boat at anchor while we were not there.
We had a wonderful dinner at Velchoff’s Corner and breakfast the next day at Angel’s Dining Car. Angel’s is Florida’s oldest diner. It was built in an old railroad car and has been open since 1932. Curb service is also available.
