She's a beauty! Hope you're enjoying Cocoa Village Marina....I trained there with ASA's Hunter.
I've tried just about everything. Several posts have mentioned soft scrub which is a good product. What I find works the absolute best ... and usually works with zero scrubbing. It's a 99 cent liquid cleaner found at most Dollar Stores called "Awesu…
It depends how large your boat is. When I stopped by to ask about dockage a couple of years ago, they explained that monthly slip rentals were on the most easterly dock, where the triple deck paddle wheel steam boat charter is. I then walked the doc…

Sailing in Brevard
My experience is that boaters are a good bunch of people. If you think there might be an issue, the best way to check it out is to ask around the dock and you'll find out quick enough if you should be concerned. My boat's been a marina for years and…
There's no better way to spoil an afternoon sail than having to dive on my twin screws and cut a trap loose. As near as I can tell there's little effort to keep them out of the main channel.
I only sail during daylight these days because of the cra…

I have some fresh water boating friends in Orlando.I will pass your original post to them. In case they left the local area. Which is probably the case. Others should do the same, maybe we can cover the state at least.
good luck,
Rob
We haven't heard anything. Please keep an eye out, but the chances of getting the boat back don't look good. I hear that there have been a lot of problems at Lee Wenner with theft, so everyone be careful if you put in or dock there.

Janet and Dan,
What is the status on your boat? Have you heard anything?
I am still looking on the weekends.

Saw your boat heading in at the port Wednesday. We had been out to 8A and points north of there, not a lot of luck, Cuda and sharks. Was looking to see how you did Wednesday for comparison, I hope your report doesnt depress me too much.
