That's what was nice about living on the boat in Marathon Key, Florida - never heard of a shooting on a boat, and damned few crimes of any kind by cruisers living aboard their boats. The worst thing I heard of was some local from Little Havana who was stealing outboard motors and generators from the back of sailboats. He got caught by the deputy sheriff one night and had a garage filled with stuff he stole during the past month. Must have been 20 outboard motors and 60 generators in there, along with fishing tackle, marine electronics, etc...

All the best,

Gary
