Some of the larger boats are going to be in serious trouble if they overstay their welcome in SC now... especially if it is owned by people who are now long-term cruisers, with a limited budget. How many people do you know who are out cruising could afford to take a $6,000 hit for just being in an are for two months.... For some cruisers I know that's close to six months of their budgeted expenses or more.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
