Marathon Neighbors

The boats in the harbor are quite a diverse group.  I would estimate about 15 to 20% are from Canada. eh?
The remainder are from almost every state east of the Mississippi and a few beyond.  We've seen boats from MN, RI, NY, NJ, WS, MC, OH, TN, AL, IL, NC, SC, VA, MD, CT, KY, DL, MA, PA, TX, IN, and a few from FL.  We have new neighbors on the mooring next to us who are from Wisconson.  They trailered their trimaran to Punta Gorda and launched at All American Storage.  They don't have to be back in Wisconsin until April.  I'm trying to remember why I have to be back in Indiana before April.
There's some very nice (and expensive) motor yachts and sailboats.  There's also a house boat with a second story added on.  Someone's staying on a fishing boat with a tent.  I'll send photos later. 

On the cruisers net this morning, there was an announcement that the Coast Guard was warning anyone leaving the harbor that a container ship had lost about 30 containers in the gulf stream just offshore of here.  "Florida Icebergs"
