Broadwater Christmas Boat Parade
Gulfport announced that their boat parade wouldn’t be going through the Broadwater neighborhood this year. We thought we’d have to wait for the downtown St Pete boat parade tomorrow night – bigger, but it sure is nice to watch from your deck or dock. Then we heard through a Broadwater infolink e-mail that 6 boats were having an impromptu parade Friday night starting at 8 and inviting other residents to join them. We were the last of the 3 main canals on their route. By 9 we’d about given up, when we heard laughing and singing and saw the lights of TWO boats. It was fun to watch them head down the Maximo Channel and wait for them to return. Our waiting was rewarded – thank you diligent boaters for going all the way.

St Petersburg “dockominiums” giving up
March 19th, 2008 categories: Boating, Real Estate News
Nautico and Maximo Marina, both in south St Petersburg, Florida, have been marketing their slips and “high and dry” storage as dockominiums – pay to own. Nautico is a new facility and Maximo Marina has been a rental marina for years, but recently ousted the boats in the rental slips in order to sell the slips. The current market is not accepting this concept here. So, both facilities, owned by Frank Maggio and his enterprises, have thrown in the towel, returned the deposits of potential slip buyers, and decided to rent out the slips. Since previous slip renters have had to make alternate arrangements and move their boats, I wonder how receptive they’ll be to returning.
