Virginia winter stay

Now, Patric AFB (Cocoa Beach) has a great marina and pub.
NAS Boca Chica (Key West) Marina is great also.

Charleston makes an ideal choice if flying from NY as there are many non stop flights, 2 hour flight, $163 round trip. If you keep what you need, you never have to check any baggage and makes things easy. Less than half the price of flying to Norfolk, VA, by the way. Current prices from NY to Norfolk are $512.

Always interesting to see what air commutes are like in terms of time, convenience, and price. Not at all unusual to find longer distances less expensive and some locations far more accessible than others.

Thanks again, Heard this last year about Patrick; hadn't looked into that before, could be do-able for our conceptual trip. Been to Boca Chica, great, but likely farther than we'd want to do for this kind of trip. (Move the boat south in Nov, leave it, visit and boat somewhere in January, leave it, begin the return home in March. Something like that...)

We enjoyed Charleston over this last winter very much. Good point OB makes about air fares. Combination of marina shuttle, some free city downtown buses, and Uber/Lyft made having a car pretty much unnecessary, at least for us. The City Marina didn't happen to have space, but Ashley, next door, did. It's a condo marina but they have some slips they can rent... and the monthly rates were OK.

We always went to Daytona, years ago Halifax harbor . Daytona Airport is right there and quite simple to get in and out of.... not a long flight from Phila or NYC, Newark....
