Re: fist time crossing

Nope! You want to find a secured parking facility so that the truck and trailer will be there when you return. You can try some of the marinas but I am sure they will charge for the privilege.

You need to personally assess the available security of each as some may have fences but no guards. Also there is no shortage of local regulations about leaving a auto/trailer on the street or in public launch facilities which need to be investigated.

Re: First Time Crossing

One place I'd consider is the secure vehicle and trailer storage at Crandon Park on Virgina Key and leave from there for Bimini instead of Fort Lauderdale.

I've launched at the Indiantown ramp and left my vehicle and trailer at the Indiantown Marina.
