GL: MARINA IN MARATHON STILL IN BIZ..????

[Bill Allen]

The Sombero marina had boats in it as to slip availabity call. The were cay 
clubs like Marathon marina which I understand is now being run by I think 
key bank. Faro blanco both oceanside and bayside are closed and empty 
although never owned by Cay Club. They've bulldozed the buildings but the 
docks all look quite decent. We'll be down next winter although we'll be 
staying a little north of that, assuming the economy doesn't go totally in 
the hopper. Bill
