Default Moving to St. thomas USVI from Jersey.

Thanks Glen,

I kind of need the money to help me relocate
and I figure once my new job starts I will get a different boat.
My family is getting too large so we are looking to move up to
the 45 - 50' range.

But I would love to sail LunaSea down. I think it could be a great
trip but it would have to be after Hurricane season and thats when
my new job really gets underway...

:-(

I have a feeling that the used boat market is going to be a bit soft for the
next 5 or 6 months. Why are you selling? If she is a cruising boat why not
sail her down and put in a mooring ball in Charlotte Amalie harbor? You can
get a mooring permit for a couple hundred a year. Definitely cheaper than
a slip in NJ and you can live on her until you find an affordable place to
stay. (Which is not easy.).

I will be moving from Jersey city nj to St. thomas usvi
in October. I am pretty excited about the move but not excited
by the prospect of selling my sailboat :-(

I really can't afford a broker. but I did put it in soundings magazine
and
there online version. I also posted to hunter owners . com but have
not
generated any results. I was wondering if anyone out there has any
ideas
or know of any web sites that would be free or little money to post an
ad on?

Thanks much
