Two water taxi's docked at the Landing today with no one around. I guess that's where they were delivered to the city?

According to the news, they had their Coast Guard inspections today - and passed.

They turned that pretty quickly, it will actually be available three hours before kickoff of the Jags game tomorrow.

The fraud continues. Ride the RIO ST. Johns as we transport you from one Illegal side of the River to the other Illegal side of the River.

Get plenty of pictures. Ask about 2014-412 that is active legislation. Who will be on the Inagural ride? Eric Holder? Pam Bondi? Kim Scott? Carla Miller? Cindy Laquidara? Jason Gabriel? Karen Bowling? Tera Meeks? Capt. Jim Suber? Scott Wilson? Don Redman? St. Johns Riverkeeper?

Next  trip will be to Palms Fish Camp next to a FIND project and that guy is getting a million bucks and never even opened the door. We are so LOST.

Stay positive.

The new FIND project list was passed out of the 1/9/15 FIND committee meeting of the Jacksonville Waterways Commission. Does anyone else feel sorry for the Baltimore guys 2014-412 because some of the new projects will require a boat to get there.

Mayor Brown Presents Another Avoidable Debacle:

Jacksonville water taxi contract close to ending; operator unsure whether new deal will be signed
By Steve Patterson Tue, Feb 3, 2015 @ 9:00 pm | updated Wed, Feb 4, 2015 @ 7:14 am

Jacksonville's contract with the company that operates water taxis downtown is set to expire Saturday, with no agreement on a new deal or certainty about the service's future.

Ridership has been far lower than levels a previous operator reported a few years ago, and the current operator wants city officials to rethink terms of the deal.

"It's just not a sustainable model and we're trying to figure out the best way forward," said Heather Surface, a partner in Lakeshore Marine, the company that began ferrying passengers last year under the name Jacksonville River Taxi.

The problem is the mayor has so badly alienated the council that they probably wouldn't approve funding for a ham sandwich for him at this point.

Someone should create a smartphone app for boat ride sharing.

Just call Noone.... he'll tow you and your bike whenever on the back of one of his kayaks.

There's always been something similar to that, it's called you bring the beer and agree to help clean up afterward, and you're good to go...
