A Florida Sheriff told me that over 90% of the car accidents are rear-end collisions.
In my opinion, if you are going to move because of weather there is no sense stopping in the Carolina's, you may as well continue south. It seems as if every day in Florida, from November through April, is sunny and in the 80's. Almost every day is a good boating day!
I am glad to have given up the snow shovel! I have friends who winter in Alabama and it looks like it is raining 50% of the time.

I’m with you. I’ve had a place on Marco for 4 years but capitalized on the boom and sold for a great price. Now building in a community just east of Jolly Bridge. Get all the amenities without being too far from Marco and our beach club is on Marco. Best of both worlds.
