If they decide to hop on board on a divisional level it would definately be another big step as well.

Re: Biloxi-Ft.Meyers/OSS
I believe there is one thing needed before all the rest can occur. In a word-consistency. Venues, sponsors, racers, and fans need to be able to count on something-big or small, 25 or 75 boats, it has to come back more than once. I have been involved with bringing a race to a new place more than once, and it is so much easier and better the second year. With a 10 year deal forming WPR and a shake out of race sites and rules, we may finally be on track to this goal. Many sites in the country cannot support a Key West like race, but even smaller divisional races can be prosperous and develop a fan base if they keep coming back. Although we may only have 5000 fans in Cambridge for an OPA race, 50 or 100 may decide to travel to Key West for a big show. And on and on it goes. If everyone looks past this week, this month, and this year and can grasp the long term effects of their actions, we are on a path to true success.

So move to Edgewater right down the street. I hear that they are building condos, boat storage and a marina between Boston Whaler and Hacienda de Rio off US 1.
It takes 42 minutes to go from there to the ocean up the intercoastal..
Check it out...
