We are 2 months away from our big move to a saltwater port in anticipation of the cruising season, wherein we'll spend 1-2 months prepping the
boat and shaking her down in the real ocean!
Florida makes sense given our intended
route through the
Caribbean, but we have no clue which areas and
marinas would be best for two dudes living and working aboard a 37'
boat for a few months this
winter. Our priorities in order are: 1) Utility - proximity to ocean access points, groceries,
marine suppliers and
service people, marina amenities; 2)
Price, and finally 3) least of all local attractions, restaurants etc. We're pretty much homebodies and have no preference for city vs. less populated spots (though as I said we're two guys, so the most conservative places are probably best avoided).
Places already on our list:
Pensacola, Ft. Walton, Boca Raton, St. Augustine. Does anyone know any
marinas that might be suitable in those places? Other ideas?
Many thanks!
