Al, The list of free docks on the ICW from Miami to Norfolk is a short one. Stuart,FL has a city dock, but recently changed the rules to allow only a 4 hr stay. Cocoa has a free dock, but we haven't stayed there. New Smyrna Beach's dock says no overnight stay; but we've stayed there twice for one night with no hassles. Barefoot Landing in Myrtle Beach, SC has a great dock next to a tourist mall with room for 10 boats, and allows a three day stay. We've heard that Southport, NC has a tiny free dock, but haven't tried it. Washington, NC has a lovely free dock for about 8 boats, with free electric, but it's 30 miles off the ICW up the Pamlico River. Oriental, NC has a nice small dock for 2-3 boats, usually crowded. That's all I can think of. Enter the NY State canal system, and it's a whole new world. Nearly every small town has a free town dock or nearby lock wall where you are welcome to stay free, many with free water or electric. For the price of the season lock pass ($100 for boats over 40'), you get free dockage for the whole summer. For details on these, see Skipper Bob's publication, "Cruising the New York Canal System", $10. Mark Richter, Still cruising on $25 a day. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
