We used a boat in a slip as a weekend retreat for 25 years. The marina life is something we really enjoy. Boaters, at least in the Great Lakes, are a very welcoming group for the most part. We now live where we can dock the boat at our door but still plan to utilize the area marinas for specific periods. We try to coordinate visits with special events at the port communities. We are fortunate to have numerous ports to visit within an easy cruise.
Looking forward to enjoying Marina Life too, and hoping to find out about special events at different port communities, which is a great idea. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
