Okay, I just talked to Joe Donahue at Key Largo Boating and Watersports, adjacent to the Caribbean Club, mile marker 104. It's where the boats launched and finished for the Steeplechase.

If you come early for Tradewinds and want to go sailing, he says you can use his beach and keep your trailer on his property for $20/day (including overnights). This seems fair, since he has very limited trailer storage area. I told him there would only be a few boats that would be coming early and maybe wanting to do that. AND that if you sail down to the regatta from his place on Friday, you would also be getting your trailer down there that same day.

Please help to keep Joe happy (and Mike, who is the manager there), because that is one of the few launching places left in the Upper Keys.
