We have been cruising in our Trojan 11.5 M Sport
Fish from
Miami to Tuxpan which is in the
Gulf of Mexico
where we have a Home on the river bend and eventually the Trojan will call Home also
we have been doing one week trips every time how ever often
work and
weather allows is it
our trojan is now sitting in a nice marina close to the Gulf
to the point:
we have met many people, fantastic people along the way
who are retired and were happy living in their
boats
that is untill it got too expensive to live in
florida marinas
the idea of living in south
florida is great but its gotten to a point where affording south florida is for the rich leassurly active productive crowd
conversing with some people along the ockeechobee waterway and particularly on the gulf side of the peninsula, many spoke of fleeding to
panama for they have no way of affording the cost of south florida
marinas
they are now jumping from one public marina to another
this marinas were created for another reason and that is to promote cruising traffic from
new england all the way arround the peninsula and back at affordable prices for municipalities to revenue from this
boats going up and down these waterways
so public marinas are now up to the point where one cannot stay for long periods of time, in most cases you have to leave after 15 days and cannot come back before 30 days have gone by
all these economic changes that promote rules have left all these good citizens a drift ..... HOME LESS
I was very upset when I heard the stories of some people that worked hard all their lives, bought beautifull boats to retire in sunny Florida
and are now being treated like homeless people
its very sad
we are in a unique position to offer our home in Tuxpan
we are building a marina to accomodate as many as 200 vessels
@ very reasonable prices
as we all know
mexico is very reasonable in regards to living cost
if any one is intrested please send us an
email to
christiancourtney@prodigy.net.mx
to discuss this
project further
we think many would benefit from this PARADISE marina
project
thanks
