Looking to talk & meet with BB Owners in So FL

[sailingmyway]

Scott, Thanks for your reply and invite to come see your 86FC35RB.
Any chance you could send interior pix and vital info either to
forum or our email address?
We are in FL only 5 years, just moved up from Ft Lauderdale, love
Stuart. As former PA people we sailed the Chesapeake Bay for 20+
years, know Annapolis well. I, also, said we owned up to 34' but I
meant 43' (senior moment). We are familar with the 42 Morgan.
We plan to RV in summer (FL is excruciateingly hot in summer) and
thru hurricane season then back to our home in FL. Once we start
looking at the various sizes of BB's we can then determine better
what size we will want.
Once we have your info, we will make a decision whether to drive
up your way to take a look.
Thanks again, John
