Sail Jacksonville 2007 Photo Tour



On the weekend of May 4 - 6, the City of Jacksonville hosted the Sail Jacksonville event on the Northbank Riverwalk.

Nice photos.  Too bad Jacksonville doesnt play on its maritime history and tradition more.  A greatly expanded maritime museum with a few retired Navy ships would be a great start.

Great collection of pictures.  I agree that it's unfortunate that we still don't take advantage of our unique maritime history and tradition.

How come there are no pictures or mention of the Schooner Freedom the only sail boat from NE Florida (St. Augustine)?  They do daily tours from the marina next to Santa Maria, and are the friendliest people I met that weekend.  They also put on the best show during the pirate battle.
