Here's what happened to Ashley Marina in Charleston, SC....

http://www.theharborageatashleymarina.com/

They think all boaters are billionaires...a LOCKER, the only property
they can sell, is around $125,000 with the PROMISE of a slip to put the
damned boat into.

Sure is pretty after the investors poured money into the new docks and
rebuilt the building....but there's LOTS of lockers coming up for sale in
the Charleston newspaper (www.charleston.net).

The transit rates are reasonable. For example, 50 amp is $100 / month.
It seems to me that $1,200 / yr is darn cheap for that space. IIRC, I
spent more per week for the two weeks I was at the City Marina three
years ago. I had to put in due to some injuries sustained in a a bit of
a blow.

I got to REALLY like Charleston.
