Couldn't agree more. We've cruised over 700 miles since the beginning
of the year and haven't even begun to see it all.



Well, if you ever head up the ICW north of St. Augustine, wave to my
house. It'll be on your right, couple of miles past the bridge, just
before the bend takes you by the little seaplane basin.

I wonder how many dozens of houses that could include? Don't
forget.......the house on the right, a couple of miles past the bridge,
just before the bend takes you by the little seaplane basin.

We believe you Krause.

I have a house right there also. LOL!

Howdee neighbor!

Why?? Looking for an invite?
If you get one...you'd better show!

Have you had one? Has anyone here ever had one?

The answer: No.

Now listen closely: Some here have received invitations to come aboard the
factory made 25 foot fishing boat.

Sounds reasonable.

Yet none have received invitations to come aboard the custom made 36 foot
lobster boat.

Coincidence?

Not likely.

Yo-Ho!

Ho-Yo!

Ho-Ho!

Why's that?

It's pretty slow moving, with a strong boating contingent, beautiful
surroundings, an active art and music comunity, etc. Much of the
populace seems a bit more liberal than one might otherwise encounter up
on the peninsula.
It might be hard for a city guy like myself to downshift enough to be
happy there, but if I was ready to sit down until the finish line PT
would be a nice place to do the sitting, (IMO).

You forgot, "just finished raining. again"

That's the way that I felt after back-to-back-to-back-to-back hurricanes
last year.

Nothing stateside beats Florida for boating.

The increased number of manatee zones have really put a damper on the
boating in certain parts of the state. So far Collier County hasn't been
affected too badly. On the intracoastal waters, we have 30 mph manatee
speed zones...and idle zones when outside of the channel. Some areas are
idle speed all of the time. I have a 1.6 mile run at idle to get to the
gulf from my house. It's not too bad, since I'm boating in open waters in
just 15 minutes (17 minutes on an incoming tide).

There are a lot of folks up the Caloosahatchee, Estero, Imperial, and
Cocohatchee rivers that have 30-90 minute runs to the gulf because of the
increased number of zones. When they bought their houses just a few years
ago, they had only a 15-30 minute run. Some of them can't get out at all on
low tide because they draft too much when off plane. Boating in Florida
isn't what it used to be (and I've only been here 6 years!).

Then Boulder City, NV as a retirement destination? You gotta be kidding.
You need to be borderline wealthy to even live there. For those of you
who don't know virtually all the available land around Boulder City is
owned by the City...and they don't sell very much of it. Right out of
one of the 1960 TV family shows.

A wonderful place Boulder City...but if they take in 25 retirees a year I
would be amazed. Three million or so net worth I would think...not a
retirement destination.

Jim Donohue...who sells a lot of retirees homes. .

hey NOYB...
see attached... http://www.hfxnews.com/

A book has been printed listing the top 60 places to retire in North
America, and according to the author's criteria Halifax rates among the
top
ten.. no word if Naples even made the list.






Nevada wouldn't be on my list if they were giving million-dollar houses
away. Neither would Mississippi, Texas, or Alabama. Or Florida below
Orlando in latitude.

Actually Harry you sometimes don't pay attention. Southern Nevada did not
go for Bush. And eventually the south will rule.

For old bodies 6 months in Vegas is better than anywhere in Florida. Three
months are about equal and southern Florida is nicer for three. And the
nice thing is that a real ocean of the deep blue sort is only four hours
away. Then again if one is enamored of the manure enhanced slime of the
Chesepeake it does not matter does it?
