i completely agree... i dont know how in this supposed democracy governors and judges get the right to separate out vessels based on if someone lives there or not. i'm sure there is no provision for that in any kind of navigation law.

It just further outlaws living aboard... not that they have to, the state of Fla has essentially already done that. It seems they don't want boaters, marinas or marine related business in this state, other than to serve tourists. If you want to LIVE aboard your boat in a warm climate, you need to go elsewhere! Cruisers are not quite as objectionable, because they come, spend money & leave, like land based tourists. In some parts of Fla, like the Keys, marinas will tell you they give preference when renting slips to snowbirds & transients over full-time resident boat owners. This is one of the reasons local boaters aren't all that welcoming of snowbirds & transients, which is a shame, given the interesting cruisers we all used to enjoy.

I am not so sure this is "Great News" for all of us on the Live Aboard List. Never, ever, admit to being a full time live aboard, you give away what little rights you have left as a boater. fwiw see you in paradise, Capt.
