Well..........according to the State of Florida it belongs to everyone. But we call it home. It's a section of the Intracoastal Waterway, or ICW. On the eastern seaboard of the US it is possible to travel by boat from New York City to the bottom of Florida and be sheltered from the ocean the whole way with the exception of two places where you have to go out to sea for a short ways and back in. This allows smaller boats to travel in safety up and down the coast. There is a whole network of places for these boaters to tie up at night and get food, gas, groceries and wash up. We live on the narrowest section of it and see lots of boat traffic in the Spring and Fall, as people follow the warm air.
