Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

Thanks for the list.


Awwwww. I’ll miss that anchorage at Belle Island. I’ve stayed there a lot of times in the past. Now I’m paying the price for the higher performance boat. There is a...

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

Yeah, illbe snowbirding/cruising, so it's more important to be able to sail well than to get into every nook and cranny of the icw.

If I know I'm going inland or into an area with low bridges, I...

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

What was that? Add another 6 feet? Sounds like a great idea! I'll be doing 20 knots in a zephyr. Ha ha

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

Thank you. But I have to confess, I don’t really like Key West. I don’t like the atmosphere. I don’t like the noise. I don’t like how far away from everything that you might need it is. it’s not...

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

I’ve definitely got one. Also cruising guides to Florida. And I do have some years experience here also. Mostly on the East Coast. I was kind of just curious what has changed and also places that are...

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

Ok. that’s good news. I should have the rig on and everything will be working of course motors and steering by the time I get to an anchorage.

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

Actually, you’d be surprised. I like that side of Florida. I like it better. Much more laid-back. The people typically have better values. Sorry. I’m probably offending half of Florida right now. Ha...

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

That’s OK. The less formal the Anchorage the better actually. I prefer that.

when you look at an anchorage, I’m usually the last boat all the way out at the end. I might even be around the corner...

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

That’s the truth. North Florida is a lot easier going.

Really good hack with receiving packages yet being an anchor. That’s impressive. I sure hope they don’t read this. Ha ha ha

I’ve stayed on...

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

This is another one that I know quite well. I have spent I think a week or so at this before. I’ve recommended it to other people. It’s fantastic. What I don’t know is how long you’re allowed to stay...

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

I’ve been here before too. I had to go on some errands, and it was pretty sketchy. I remember it felt kind of dangerous as sure. Maybe I went on the wrong side of the pocket, I had to go to the main...

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

OK. Maybe that first come first served thing is what was tripping me up. I was trying to make a reservation.

I have definitely stayed there before and it was pretty convenient. Not all that close...

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

Wow. Thank you for all of these. These are ones I definitely was not familiar with. I have always just cruised right through that area. I only stopped one time in that area when I lost a fuel pump...

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

Yeah. That’s kind of like me. I don’t know what’s what anymore. I’ve been off the water too long. Building the boat.

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

Awwww. Man! 40ft max LOA at the dinner key mooring field.

And my 25’ beam and high windage boat doesn’t help my argument much either.

Possibly I can anchor over there however. Maybe there...

Re: Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

Yes. Often mooring fields do fit the budget. With Titusville, I remember getting a hold of them a couple years back and they were just so full that they wouldn’t even talk to me. Their response was...

Longer term Florida Anchorage Suggestions Near Grocery Stores?

My life has changed. The world has changed.
