Received your note. Thank you for reaching out.
Unfortunately I am committed in September. Are you sure you want to do the move then? Hurricaine season lasts until November and
weather can be nasty. After West Palm Beach there are few shelters and
marinas are hard to get into. I cruised down
Florida earlier this year and finding
marinas or
anchorages can be challenging.
