Dockage in Miami is going to be harder to find than it was a couple of months ago. My marina is operating on a limited basis and is not expected to be fully open again for several months, at least. We have to re-power and re-plumb and then rebuild the finger piers. The marina next door is not slated to re-open until mid 2019. Miami lost a lot of dockage with Irma. Dockage here is expensive, too. I think mine is about $26/foot/month, and I’m in the cheapest place I could find. We are also primed for a 100%, or more, increase in insurance premiums next year. Back to paying five figures a year for insurance. Not looking forward to that.
