It looks like I'll be able to join the snowbirds and go south for
this coming winter. Like most everyone's, my intention would be to
get far enough south so that the weather is likely to be comfortably
warm most of the time. My thoughts have long been that the Keys,
Bahamas, or PR/VI, listed in increasing degrees of difficulty (and
inverse degree of desirability), would be the best bets. I
originally contemplated St. Augustine till I noted the temperature at
one point got into the 20's - I can do that here in upstate NY.
Judging from the comments on this list, Florida is not particularly
cruiser-friendly - except, perhaps, for Marathon. Any
thoughts/advice on Marathon as a place to hang out for several months
in the winter? I would expect to be anchored out, or on a mooring.
I'm also carrying 6'6" of draft, and it's not clear from what I've
seen that that will work comfortably in Marathon (or lots of the Keys
either).
So any advice would be much appreciated. Perhaps there's a better
place in Florida than Marathon. Hal
