... this Yard is under new management, I was there this year for work, some I did myself, I had a wonderful experience there. As did two other cruiser friends of ours, who had quite a bit of extensive work done, they were there a few weeks. The new manager, Brian and Yard Fellow Barry were great. No surprises, excellent work, I was more than welcome, a nice place to be, especially if you will be living on the boat while work being done. The Manatee Pocket is a fun place to spend time. Very safe. NO issues. This Hinckley Yard has a new policy, letting you do your own boat work as long as it is not extensive. Very Nice. I've heard in the past some not so perfect things, but I see first hand that has changed, under Brian's new management. I will go back there in a minute, could not be more pleased, it would be the Yard of my choice on the Florida East Coast. Cheers, John
