Mast up is a bit more limited on the east coast. We've tried to get our own "club" space like GYC but the County hasn't been terrifically cooperative.

As stated Scott's place is an option. From Orlando it is about 50-60 minutes.

I keep my boat (when not racing) at Titusville Sailing Center. This is about 30-45 minutes from Orlando. Membership at TSC is $60 / yr and currently don't charge me for boat storage; although space is limited and the club is not oriented towards cats.

As state, room is limited and by that I mean you don't get an assigned space. Many times after having my boat gone from there for a couple of weeks, I have to "re-arrange" the dingies and sunfish to make space for my cat.

Additionally there is no beach off the ramp (which isn't great) , so when launching I anchor my boat offshore in shallow water.

All in all, it's not as bad as I make it out to be ... just wanted to give you full disclosure. When you're down this way give me a ring (or if you need advice on where to look for residence let me know--some people live on the coast and drive back into Orlando).

Here is the link of Titusville Sailing Center:

If I read you post it said Florida Hospital East. East side of Orlando and easy access(Interstate) to Cocoa Beach(Kelly Park, Performance sail). If you pick the right place to live you could be 35 min to good sailing and still close to her work.

The new hospital in Lake Nona?

If so, Lake Nona to TSC is 48; Lake Nona to Performance Sail is 53 minutes (so about equal). I own a condo right across the street from TSC and prices are ridiculously low (for both rentals and Sales). Here is a picture outside my balcony:

Well, living at the coast isn't an option because she needs to be within a 30 minute drive of the hospital when she's on call.

I don't know where lake Nona is - but this hospital she's in is relatively new.

Today we received official confirmation of my wife's match in Orlando. We can now look into finding a place to live down there and all that goodness.

Thanks everyone for all the help you've given me in this thread. When I finally pull myself out from behind the moving boxes, I'll be bringing ole Undecided out to the race course.

Tad,

A little "professional" moving advice ....

1) Go buy moving boxes ... the different sizes are multiples of each other ... they stack better in the truck!!! No "Liquer" boxes they make packing the truck a "pain-in-the-_ss"
2)Label boxes on the sides so you can read them when they are stacked
3) Use small boxes for "books" .... big boxes for "bedding" ... "Movers" get mad when you fill a large box w/ books just because it is easier to pack .... they do value their backs!!!!
4) If you have "good" dishes and delicate items ... let the proffessionals pack them ... there are tricks to it.
5) Buy insurance!!!!
6) use a well know company w/ references
7) Inspect the truck ... clean & neat w/ pads folded = good crew .... messy truck = be careful/watchful
8) Buy lunches and tip the crew... it's well worth it in the end .... it's a sign of respect to the crew ....

I do have a little experience in this field .... mostly "commercial" thro .....

Good Luck
Harry Murphey

Thanks Harry,

This isn't our first move. I've moved no less than a dozen times so we've got experience with the boxing and stuff. I think we're going to TRY and move ourselves since the cost of hiring movers can be quite substantial.

We'll see. We have time.
