Seeing the paucity of marina space in South FL and the extreme cost
makes me wonder what will happen as prices for slips continue to rise.
One of the best marinas in Charleston has gone "condo"....not condo in the
sense of tearing up the marina and replacing it with apartment-
condos, that's next door...no, the "condo" here is a LOCKER for $120,000!
Now THAT's stupid! They can't sell you a dockspace they don't own. The
Corp of Engineers always gets upset when some slick developer sells the
public's waterways. So, they sell you this tiny locker in the main
building with the PROMISE that you'll be able to use "some" dock space for
your boat....where is not promised. The fun part comes with the "regime
fees". There's an "owner's association", which, of course, is SUBORDINATE
to the developer and at his whim. Inside the condo docs is a little clause
that says if we run out of money from the regime fees, we'll just come
assess you for more moolah at any time and there's nothing you can do about
it. Regime fees have dropped a lot on the webpage since they started
it..(c; What a deal!

Most all of the old gang simply moved out....to the City Marina.
