Thanks for the PC update. I'd like to know who your broker is. Might send him/her some business in the not to distance future.

There are a lot of slips open in the marinas in PC. We found one for a 41 ft. Morgan for $200/month, most of the other places have dropped thier prices as well.

You are correct about the number of boats for sale (sail?) in the area. I could have spent days looking at them all, and I pretty much know what I want. I saw discounts of up to 40% off the asking price while I was anchor kicking. I really liked the broker I dealt with, they were more than friendly and really went the extra mile.

The main result of the trip was to set my boat size sights at or above the 40 ft range, but that will require selling the house down there before I am willing to buy the bigger boat.

Just thought you might want to know!

There are a lot of marinas in and around PC. You should have no trouble finding a slip. Tons of boats for sale down there right now too. I am looking to move to the Gulf Coast as well. - - in about a year.

Too true, just a bunch of small lakes around here, hench the small boat, but I have a house in Florida! Going to be looking at live-aboards in Panama City while I am visiting the kids over Christmas. Now if I can only find a place to keep one there!

Thanks for friend request. Glad to know ya. You are even more land-locked than I am. There is hope . . . . .

I'd like to think William Ward is a lot like me, or I like him. I also like his quotes on friendship and personal responsibility. Thanks for the positive comment!

Absolutely love your signature - got to check out Ward. Thanks.
