there isnt anything cheap and affordable in ft. lauderdale. In fact the city
council continues to do everything it can to deter the marine industry and with
big wayne buying up everything imaginable its not going to bet any better any
time soon. . Summerfields used to in the past but not anymore,
you have to buy all your supplies from them at inflated costs and they watch
like a hawk and will ask you to leave even if you have your sand paper, Im not
kidding.
There is another marina called Indian towne on the ICW west of stuart but I
dont know anything about it.

I do.

I have bought fuel all over the US East Coast, Atlantic Canada, most of the
Islands including Cuba, Bermuda, and so on. The _only_ bad fuel I ever ran
into was at Indiantown.

Indiantown managed to crack the hull of a friend's 41 footer left there for
seasonal storage. They simply didn't plant the boat correctly, resulting in
severe damage and lawsuits.

On the few times I stayed over, the manager consistently forced boats to
overhang the docks in a manner that was quite unsafe. He was doing this to
get one or two more boats in where they simply did not fit.

To top things off, the folks at Indiantown really did not seem to give a
damn about their visitors.

I guess you might say I'm not a fan.
