two Christmas's ago when the weather was nasty. But it turned out fine. I wound up doing some boat projects, there are a number of chandlery's, hardware stores, West and so on, all within an easy public transport away. Movie theaters, shows, and so on for the crew. Restaurants, groceries and coffee joints. I thought it was very safe, I didn't feel that way about South Beach. Perhaps a good suggestion. If you're willing to travel a bit further, I think the City Marina at Vero Beach could be the best place to be and leave a boat in South Florida. Cheers, John
