Last time I was up at Titusville Muni they were still ripping out their floating docks & replacing them with fixed per insurance requirements. They no longer allow liveaboards, so that might affect the overall attitude of the place. Sad! Of course transients are always welcomed, as the tourist industry has a much stronger voice than local boaters. Sadly....It's all about separating tourists from your money here in sunny Florida.
We draw 5'9" & that was too much in many cases (SW Fla, the Keys & Melbourne area). 6.5' will be tough almost anywhere in Fla & the Bahamas. In the Keys you are definitely limited to the Atlantic side as Rosalie said. We were in a marina on the east end of Marathon. Plenty of water in the marina, but we could only go in/out the entrance inlet at high tide. A real PITA. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rosalie B." <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 4:08 PM Subject: Re: [Liveaboard] Advice regarding Florida > ....snip......
