jbergantino,
Morrison's Marina or Beach Haven Yacht Club, both in Beach Haven, NJ, are 2 good marinas to stay at. Both are right on the ICW and there are a number of restaurants within walking distance. Most of the restaurants are open through September, many even later. There is a food store, Murphy's, (a little expensive though) that is a bit of a walk. Any other questions, let me know.

In the Keys - don't miss Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo which allows Marinalife members to visit and also in Duck Key near Marathon don't miss Hawk's Cay.

I will be traveling in a 58' power boat from Connecticut to Fort Lauderdale this fall any recommendations on stops along the way or marinas to vist during the winter in the keys or Bahamas?
