Options for Liveaboard in FL.

Greetings all;
I too am looking at making a move from CA to Florida. I grew up in Savannah/Charleston and have been in CA for the last 30 yrs. I did not get into sailing until about 15 yrs ago. I wish i would have explored that when i was younger and back there. Probbly would have wound up in Florida years ago.
I am considering 3 areas to move to; St. Petersburg, Port Charlotte, or Ft Myers. The further south the better. Bring on the HEAT! I like it. of course humidity can be uncomfortable but a fan or AC would help me with that.
So my question is of these areas; which would be better for a mooring or maybe anchoring. Mooring first--rough idea of cost? Don't plan on living aboard permantly. Maybe just the first month or 2 until I settled in.
I will need to work.
My boat is a 30ft Cross Trimaran with 3.5 ft draft-centerboard up. I have lived on a few boats and on this one for a few years so I am used to it.

Thanks in advance for your comments/thoughts.

Kelly.
