Abandoned boats are a sore subject at Ft Myers Beach and make good
newspaper copy.

What happens to them? Are there opportunities for 'poor' sailors to
acquire them at a good price... though I expect if they're abandoned, by
the time authorities get around to dealing with them, they're not in
very good shape, and that good price would have to be, probably, very
good.

Bear in mind that there are many boats that are worth FAR LESS than
nothing, and so would be a very bad deal even if the owner gave the boat
to the "poor" sailor for free.

With the beheading will Florida prohibit line stretched between objects
and boats or will they prohibit jet skies. Probably lines between
objects and boat.

I guess this answers the age old question what will happen to the person
on water skies when he hits your forstay.
