Jack, I stayed at Gulfport marina on a charter a couple of years ago; really liked the place! We did see a few hulls and other borderline boats in the anchorage in front of the casino area...;

The boat slaughter is going to be in places like the Keys, Biscayne Bay andWest Palm Beach, where lots of boats are hanging on moorings or even justanchors. There just aren’t that many places to hide. The few hurricane holes areso crowded that one loose boat can play havoc. Other places, like Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and North Miami, most boatsare kept at private docks behind homes. Those offer pretty good to excellentprotection. Where I am, over on the west coast, there are many free anchorages whereboats are just hanging on anchors. Even if we just get the edge of Irma, aspredicted, the shorelines will be cluttered with sailboats, many of them junkersthat near-homeless people were living on. Luckily, my marina in Gulfport, Fl., is a hurricane hole. Jack Brennan Former C&C 25 Shanachie, 1974 Bristol 30 Tierra Verde, Fl. (In the cone of danger, just barely.)
