My original plan for the site in November was to create a simple discussion board for local boaters. Idea after idea and suggestion after suggestion has evolved it very quickly to what it is now. Many times, boaters meet other boaters and it is difficult to exchange phone numbers or email addresses. My vision is that when you meet another boater, the contact information exchange will no longer be necessary and you can simply say “Find me on BoatBrevard.com” or “Connect with me on BoatBrevard.com”. Additionally, if you want to know the next time Jerry and Sally with ‘Big Blue’ will be at Ski Island you can find out easily on the site.. Then you can decide to meet up or go somewhere else….
