A town on the water....




Boot Key Harbor is like it's own little community. The mooring fee is $20 a night or $100 a week (that includes pump-out and showers)  which makes it a perfect place to re-provision and catch up with boat chores.  It's really cool to see the lanes of mooring balls lined up like houses on a street but........No lawns to mow!  There's a Tiki Hut for gatherings (Dick went to a info-session on the Bahamas and picked up a couple of tips). The "cruiser's net" is broadcast every morning on Ch 68 and it offers tons of info and gives sailors an opportunity to tell everyone within radio range what they might want to "buy, sell or trade".  They have new bathrooms and showers coming and there is shopping and really good fish markets to be had.  This harbor is Very Cruiser Friendly.

Right now we're having a bit of a giggle...........there's two people motoring around  in a slow and loud dinghy.............they can't find they're boat!   Good Luck, Grasshoppers!!!   :-)
