I had my Cheoy Lee Clipper 33 in a slip on F dock for a while from '89 then
moved to NTC marina for a couple years, then I move back to NAB in '92. When
my name finally came up for live aboard I went to the moorings. I waited 4
years on the mooring liveaboard waiting list. My name was still on the
'liveaboard at the dock' list, for 8 years and they finally just kicked all
the military retiree liveaboards out last year. Only active duty can get
permission to live aboard..

When I return nex fall, I will go to the moorings and play declare my status
as cruising/transit for as long as I can get away with it..

Another alternative would be to 'free anchor outside their jurisdiction,
rent a slip just big enough to keep a dingy and live on the boat while
parked at the marina.

The port authority now has some time limits on the duration of free
anchoring, unless we go out to the wind swept A10 anchorage.
