Decided on Dry Tortugas
Isn't the answer simple. Get charts, know where you are, and stay with in
the marked channels and you will be ok. Or am I missing something. Thousands of boaters have gone there with less knowledge and have not damaged anything. I have never boated there but am aware of their respect of the sea grass. "NH_/)_" wrote in message news Do they have a website? ... to prove these costs? NH_/)_ -------- http://nortech-cs.com/sailusa/index4.htm "Bob Cook" wrote in message ... Hmmm...that's easy... I would suggest reading up on the FKNMS, (Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary) areas, designations, rules, regulations, enforcement provisions, and penalties. For instance, the yardstick formula for assessing a penalty for accidently running aground in the FKNMS and doing even minimal damage to the sea grass or any reef is $100,000 per day, prorated per hour the vessel is aground, plus damage assessment costs, plus bottom restoration costs, plus court costs, plus any fines for negligent navigation...oh, plus the cost of towing, salvage and any damage you might do to your boat... So you may want to reconsider just how anxious you are to go sailing in the Florida Keys.
