Two questions:

I understand anchoring laws have changed but that local communities may not recognize the changes. Can you anchor anywhere along the intercoastal as long as you have enough water and are out of the channel? Time restrictions?

We are full time cruisers, homeport San Diego, CG documented, but if we park our boat in Fl. in order to fly home etc. for a month at a time, are we subjected to Fl. State sales or property tax?
