Hi Bryan: Might we know where those referenced moorings are located in FL? That sounds appealing. Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "B.

I don't go as often in the restaurants because I'm happy to just be aboard, I don't need all the winter cultural stimulation (museums, theatre, etc) because I have all the playing field I need in the boat, around it and in the water... I use the bike, the kayak, the zodiac, the row boat, the diving kit... I can spend days at anchor at the same paradise spot without having desire to move any further, and if I decide to move, I burn less than a gallon an hour. I believe 2 persons can live quite confortable on a boat for less than 3000$ a month, including a rental car once in a while. But you need to anchor quite often. If you decide to settle somewhere for winter, I know places in Florida where a mooring is about 300$ per month for a 40' boat. 200$ per week for grocery, 200$ for visiting and entertainment, that makes 1900$ for the month and still leave a lot of money on the 3000$ budget for anything else.
