Exactly! And that was 5 years ago! It is much worse now. Hurricane
Wilma was the last nail in the coffin.
If you are not a property owner where ever you are in any part of eastern
coastal South & Central Fla you are below dirt....& that includes the "cruiz
shippers". Everyone hates them in the Keys! Even the people who make a
living off serving them! I guess they are lousy tippers & don't spend much
$$ off the ship.
If you are sympathetic to Norm's Melbourne experience get this: I believe
in Brevard county property owners can legally sink moorings in the same
waters "out of towners" aren't allowed to anchor in!!!!! I have not chked
into this however, as most of the water is very shallow.

We sailed from Lake Ontario to Key West in 2002.
Upon arrival, in the Keys, we found a concrete jungle, high docking prices,
limited anchorages, police with an attitude, and hassels from the USCG in
the various anchorages, not to mention the "fees" to tie up your dink at
most local docks and in Key West itself, several rude bartenders.
Guess if you don't have a cruise ship pass your a fourth class citizen.
Reminds me of the old signs in Norfolk and Little Creek, Va.
"Sailors and dogs keep off the lawn" and now keep out of our waters!
