    Fernandina For Great Mexican Food

    Thanks PGITUG. Appreciate the post. Always like to hear about good food close to docks. Will have to try it out when we make it down because we love Mexican food :)

    Thanks David. I gave Tarpon Point a call today after checking out their site and doing some google earth. Surprisingly reasonable rates for an annual lease. We have a little while longer before we move the boat down...but Tarpon Point is definitely a top contender. As we get closer I will...

    Very interesting and only 18 miles from the airport. It appears that there is a lock which would reduce any sort of tidal surge????

    Should have added that I will continue to live in the Atlanta area and visit the boat once a month or so..... but can drop everything in the event of an approaching hurricane.

    Thanks for the reply!! I am looking at an annual slip lease. I have looked at CFMYB and it is at the top of my list. I love its walking distance location to many restaurants and the downtown area....and the on demand in-slip pumpouts. Where would you take it up river in the event of an...

    Any feedback on a Fort Myers area Marina that offers great protection from storms and somewhat close to the airport? A few amenities would be nice as well.

    Any Regrets?

    I am curious...what would you and others consider on "the down side of spry"? My wife and I want to move aboard after retirement but don't want to wait too late.

    Best eateries along your journey...

    Couldn't agree more about Cabbage Key. Fun place to visit. Just stow your gear or risk it being plundered by the water thieves. Was funny watching the otters jump onboard boats and go through people's stuff in search of food.

    Best eateries along your journey...

    Great thread. Waterfront restaurant. St James city, Fl. Anything over 20ft, dinghy in probably best. Dive restaurant that fills up with locals at lunch. Nothing super special, just a fun place to eat. Deep fried cheesecake is awesome.

    Water underneath Isotherm 195

    All, I need a little help here. I have an Isotherm 195 and lately water is coming out from underneath it. just a few drips at a time, but over the course of a day it can fill up a cereal bowl. Any thoughts on what may be the culprit? Thanks, Scott

    Do you like Magma Grills?

    Do you like Magma Grills?

    My latest magma tattoo. Barely tapped the edge of the lid just above its 4" white hotspot. Got this beauty seconds after chastising the kids to not play near the grill! Immediately after it happened I placed the nearest cold beverage against it and kept my mouth closed. No one ever knew it...

    Tell me why...

    Galley down reduces rolling for the cook while underway. The lower in the boat, the less the rolling. Also, as others have posted, the dishes are not in your face if you choose not to tackle immediately after dinner.

    Anybody know how to figure this out

    Easy. Answer is 7. I used the same formula king authur used to answer " what is the air speed of an African swallow laden with a coconut?"

    Work while cruising

    Good question. Bartending - zero. Coastal cruising - limited. Have bareboat chartered a few sub 45' on the east coast for a week at a time (ft Lauderdale, Miami, no name harbor, etc). There are chartering opportunities locally as there are entry level bartender opportunities locally as well...
