I am preparing to move my boat to the Southwest Coast of Fl. Somewhere between St. Pete and Ft. Meyers.
My wife and I are coming to the NOODS in St. Pete on Thursday 2/13, head to Ft. Meyers on Sunday and working my way back to the St. Pete airport to fly out on the following Thursday 2/20.
I would appreciate marina suggestions from any C36/375 members and would enjoy meeting members in the local areas.
Please email me at [email]Marc@alberts-inc.com[/email]
Thanks,
Marc Nachman

It sounds like you are flying in to watch the NOOD but planning to leave your boat permanently?
Regatta Pointe, Twin Dolphin are in the Manatee river a bit south of St. Pete. Very nice marinas. We are talking pool jacuzzi, work out rooms, laundry, multiple restaurants - you get the picture. :)
The St. Pete Muni also very nice and the location is awesome in downtown St. Pete. The Harborage is also nice but a bit of a walk to the activities. Short bike ride if you have one. It has a pool.
Gulf Port is a just a tad off the beaten path but a bit quieter and has a really quaint downtown.
There are others but those are the ones the locals tend to stay at.
