[Vasco]

Last year, anchoring in Florida, we were not checked by any of the local authorities. In past years we have been checked in Lake Boca,(ICW near Boca Raton), Lake Sylvia(Ft. Lauderdale) and off South Beach (Miami). These are the only three places on the east coast of FL that we've ever been checked out at. In past years the worst place was Lake Sylvia, the marine police weren't very pleasant. In South beach they seemed as if they were just going through what they were ordered to do and were very pleasant.
