The winds, unfortunately, would build each afternoon out of the East and this would create a lot of chop in the mooring field. Not a big deal just makes for a wet dinghy ride back to the boat. The laundry room is very nice. The harbormaster, Daniel was very responsive to an issue I had with a washer. Showers are pretty nice and definitely serve the purpose. I'm happy to see that there have been more restaurants that have opened in the area and are within walking distance. I even had some grocery items delivered by Walmart to the mooring field park. Definitely a convenient stop.

Mooring balls are fairly new and maintained annually. Martin County parks on-site staff is great. No protection from east or south winds or wave makes this very rocky (2 or 3 foot chop) half the time. Storm damage from two months ago not repaired, meaning there is no dinghy dock, shorewater, or diver access. Secured, renter-only bathrooms and laundromat work and are cleaned regularly. walking half-mile to shopping (Publix), liquor, and restaurants. Waterfront park on shore allows good pet walking, some parking and Uber pickup. Poor wifi access in mooring field.

Arranging a ball was no problem, good communication through online form/email with harbor master. Balls and pennants are in good shape. Field is almost completely built out. Enter from the south. Dinghy dock has less than 100 feet of usable space on the protected (north) side. Several live abords in the field who 'commute' daily means things get crowed. Shower and laundry facilities are in the public park area, but only accessible with field provided code. Dinghy dock has a coded gate. The field is very open to the prevailing easterly (and in spring/summer) southerly winds - long fetch can make things bumpy.

This is a tricky one because the amenities are really fantastic, and the location can't be beat. Problem is when the tide changes and the wind is in opposition your hull will be SMACKING against the plastic mooring ball ALL NIGHT LONG. Don't ask me how I know. So overall, if I were to do it again, I would save my topside paint and find somewhere to just drop the hook so I could actually get some sleep (which is the whole point isn't it?).
