A trail of mooring buoys
I think the reason many people do not cruise is because it takes so
dang long they run outa time. They need to leave their boats somewhere for a month till they can get back to sail on further. This is very difficult because almost all marinas are geared toward long term slip agreements. What I envision is a series of mooring buoys spaced roughly 50 miles apart on the Gulf coast to be used for no more than a month. Marina operators may not like this but they mostly have enough business anyway. These might have to be on state property (most bottoms are state property). Fees would be by the night, by the week or by one month max. payable at a drop box ashore or by CC online. The operator of the system would pay fees to the state and community. Any boat that exceeded the 1 month limit would be towed by commercial service to a local marina. Cruisers who would use such buoys, do not mind spending money at local restaurants and stores so it would help local businesses. Thoughts? |
