I have seen good size sailboats wintering at the waterfront marina right in
Beaufort, NC (called Beaufort Docks). It does get quite cold for a few
months. The marina does not have much in the way of facilities, but is in
the centre of town. There is another one just outside of town called Town
Creek Marina - I don't have any experience with these - we just scouted them
out by car for future reference.

Oriental is fine. There are some good deals hidden there. Do you plan
to stay on your boat? It can get extremely cold.

What is the size of your boat, and what does it draw? How tall is the
mast?
