Boatels

In the year and half since we have last been in our marina, it has turned into boatel central.  Every other boat seems to be for rent on vrbo.com or AirBnB.

The marina ain't to keen on it because if they find out that you are running a boatel, you get slapped with an additional $750/month fee.  And they need to approve how you portray the marina.

Tim and I personal don't like the fact that there is no control on who comes and goes from the marina, security-wise, not very good and one of the reasons we liked this marina was because of it's security, which seems to be a bit amiss at this point.

Interestingly enough, the majority users of the boatels are from Europe and Asia.  Multi-generations. What would be the thought process of dragging grandma halfway across the world and putting her up on a .... boat?  Interesting to think about.
