Just curious, with the crazy room prices has anyone considered staying on their boat? I'm assuming you all get a slip at a marina in Key West? Most every marina I've stayed at has showers. I've stayed on my boat in Dana Point several times and always found it to be very relaxing and fun. Usually have a grill on the dock and other boaters come by with food and drinks and we have a big party right there.

When i had the Formula 400SS i slept on that and it was awesome. not sleeping on the Cigarette even for one night. and i think a lot of the boats in key west are not setup for that. plus most people i think have at least 4 people so even less likely.

Friend bought a place in Marathon last yr and just took delivery of a Blackfin 30' or so CC. Looks like a day trip down for one day of racing. Hang on the hook. Not sure we will even hit land as i figure there will be no slips available for day docking?? Any ideas anyone? Been several yrs since we made the trek.
Then some Lobster fishing! Or is it called Lobster Netting lol

Fed printing has allowed 0.1%er wealth to zoom even higher relative to working stiffs. If this event is now for them, so be it.
Sounds like the enthusiast fleet needs to set up new events and venues.

As a teenager in the late seventies we used to launch skiffs at Sugarloaf and run out to Content keys. We’d camp for a week or so to snorkel for lobster and fish for mangrove snapper all day. Not having a fresh water shower didn’t bother us back then. Lots of memories. My post about Key West was probably overly harsh and didn’t account for the reasoning for being there for the World’s event, more of old timer rant about then vs now.
