Storage recommendation(s) in FL/GA solicited
Hi, Y'all... We're about to leave the boat for 3-4 months (mid-March to mid-June/ early July) to attend to family business. When we return, we're heading to Maine on the Gulf Stream and other northerly pointings, from somewhere either in FL or GA. At the moment we're in the Miami area. Our preference would be for ground, secure, storage, but we'd consider in-the-water alongside/out back/in someone's home or condo slip if recommended or owned by one of this group/list. We have some challenges, in that we're slightly over 6' deep and over 63' tall, so access to some areas (e.g. Indiantown, otherwise attractive) won't happen. We could go on the ground in St. Petersburg (which we know from our 3 year refit and later 4 month rehab - it has some advantages because of our familiarity) for about $300 a month plus hauling. If we were to stay in the water at someone's house or condo's slip (right out back, not remote) where an eye could be cast upon us on a regular basis (visual, from home, not maintenance trips), we'd expect some fraction of that cost. Any place on or near the coast of FL from St. Pete around to, and, GA, would do. Any personally known (that is, you know personally, rather than speculation) suggestions as to who I might contact to accomplish that? Any "insider" info about any given marina/boatyard which might lend an advantage? We'll be making the decision in the next week or so, as we'll have to be sailing if it isn't right in this neighborhood, and we don't want schedulitis! Thanks, as always.
