There was definitely swimming at the Springs after 1950. I swam almost daily as a child in the late 1960’s~early 1970’s. I also worked for Silver Springs and Wildwaters. I am the fourth generation of six generations of Ocalans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371057245307283394.post-73218793270873620472022-06-20T18:29:03.695-04:002022-06-20T18:29:03.695-04:00Hello, first, I have no idea what I am doing.

But, a nice shot in the dark.<br /><br />A few months ago, my daughter gave me a 1:12 scale scratch built Model of a glass bottom boat. The workmanship is amazing and it appears to be in perfect order. It is not designed to be in the water. There is a picture included showing the boat used as a model. I have additional information on the boat and original owner. I think my goal is to either donate it to where/who I have no idea. Or, try to sell it. Can anyone point me to someone that might be able to assist? I really appreciate any thoughts or assistance.<br /><br />Jerel hjerel001https://www.blogger.com/profile/06195126291065111413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371057245307283394.post-30162748854451139662020-09-05T16:15:25.590-04:002020-09-05T16:15:25.590-04:00Ms. Moon, I just saw your very old comment about s...Ms. Moon, I just saw your very old comment about spa near Sebastian. The closest thing I know of is the Indian River Hotel where they had sulphur water from an artsian well.

I know they did film a Tarzan movie or two there. But I believe you. We are lucky here in North Florida to have Wakulla to swim in. Such a beautiful place. All our springs are.
