Someone here is bound to have some answers for that - I'm just saying "hi".

Whatever answer you get, should take into account Fla's endless supply of
Manatee protective no wake areas.

Folks, this is my first experience with this newsgroup. I apologize if my
question is redundant.

My wife and I are planning to retire and move to Florida. We are power
boaters
and enjoy fishing and cruising. We also enjoy tennis and the beach.
Previous
boats have been 20-30ft. in length.

We would appreciate your input on nice areas or communities to retire,
with an
emphasis on boating, possibly with canals, yacht club, gated, etc. Cost
is not
a big issue.

Thanks,

RedmanHawk
