[Rhodes22-list] Safe harbor for truck & trailer

[Mike Riter]

That's brilliant Rick. Thanks! I had forgotten all about Burnt Store
Marina! The boat ramp at Ponce looks nice on Google maps, but doesn't look
like a place I'd be willing to leave my truck and trailer for 10 days. I
ran across Safe Harbor Pineland on Pine Island last night. I'm going to
give them and Burnt Store marina a call and see what they say.
