[C320-list] Wintering South vs drydock North

[Robert Seastream]

All:

My wife and I discussed the following today:  Rather than drydocking  
our 320 during the New England winters, why not lease a mooring  
anywhere south enough (Carolinas, etc.?) where it's warm enough to  
remain in the water over our winter, reversing the process for the NE  
summer?  We'd fly down to the boat a couple of weeks each winter and  
enjoy her, rather than have her sit on the hard up here.  Up here, our  
mooring leasing fee is ~$1200/season; drydock fee is ~$1100.  If we  
could secure a southern mooring at similar cost, why not?  There are a  
few other issues (vessel health, welfare, & security, etc.) that would  
have to be addressed, but we don't think they're insurmountable.  Has  
anyone else on list ever done this or considered it?
