1728.0. "to moor or not to moor?" by CIMNET::LEBLANC () Thu May 30 1991 12:06

                    Well, we stepped out of our 16' day sailer and bought
            a beautiful, very equipped Catalina 22'. We have moored it in
            Long Lake in Naples Main for the first part of the summer as we
            frequent the area including a cottage rental in July.
    
            I'd like some advise where we could move it to the ocean
            for the latter part of summer. Living in the Fitchburg area,
            Boston is the closest to the ocean with the North shore next 
    	    closest.  Southern Maine would not be that far away either. We have
            contemplated having it in reach of the Vineyard also.
    
            Our mooring in Maine is free, and I have not adjusted to
            paying such high prices for a place in the water. Given our use
            would be every other weekend or so, I have contemplated trailering
            it out of the water after weekend use and leaving it in some
            secure boat yard. A marina in Maine would accommodate us in this
            type of storage for $50/month. The trade-off is you have to launch
    	    it every time, although the boat would still be all set up.
    
             Any suggestions on places, rates etc. I can imagine there
            should be some bargains on moorings in August in this economy;
            maybe even time sharing a mooring.

1728.1C'mon down to Padanaram!BNCHMK::LOTUSThu May 30 1991 15:008
    I know of a mooring in Padanaram, near New Bedford, that can be had
    for $400 fro the summer.  The sailing ground is great (right across
    from the Elizabeth Islands), and easy reach to the Vinyard.
    Give me a call and I'll give you the specifics. I can be reached on
    dtn 224-1647.
