I don't want to hijack this thread but. . . Last Spring I spoke with some of the "northern" boats about wintering at GYC i.e. storing boats with us after the GC. That would make it more feasible to return to Florida for Tradewinds and again to GYC in April, before trailering back north. Since then, I've spoken to most of the officers and board members and they are uniformly positive.
If anyone is still interested let me know.
