The exchange below began as I was following a discussion on the GL (Great Loop) mailing list about “wintering” in the Florida Keys. Then, I picked up this little tid-bit about a GREAT source for discovering private and public docks for rent or lease in the Florida Keys:

If you wish to cruise the Keys, then I suggest you log on to the Florida Keys “Keynoter” which has an extensive listing of public and private docks that are available for lease.

So, I e-mailed Captain Veiner, and asked him if he could supply the URL for the “Keynoter.” He responded immediately:

Claiborne,
The URL for the Florida Keys Keynoter is:

http://www.keysnet.com/190/index.html

This section usually grows to about three pages in season.
It’s a pleasure to provide you with info after all the good stuff you have shared with Trawler List. I love your guides, except that, keeping Cruising The Florida Keys current is a full time endeavor.

Our thanks to Captain Veiner for supplying this great on-line directory of for-lease dockage in the Florida Keys! If you are looking for this sort of mooring, look no further.

A really useful idea. I have been wondering how to find something similar for northern areas. How about starting that for everywhere?
