Hi,

I've never set foot on a sailboat and I'm not planning on running out
and buying one before I learn how to sail and get some experience.

Thank you!

I'm just wondering, I'm thinking about living aboard. I'm 35 single
male. I'm not tied to the mainland - at least I don't think I am. I
make money by being on the internet so I'm wondering if many places
one can moor as a live aboard along the Pacific Coast(BC to Mexico)
have internet access. It may have to be pretty high speed and wired,
not wireless.

Umm... if you're on a mooring, you're going to need a really long
wire. There are plenty of places that offer highspeed wireless,
however.

Can anyone tell me about this particular issue?

Also, what are moorage fees like for say a 30 foot boat?

Slip fees vary wildly by location. In my area, they vary from $100 to
$500 for a 30' slip. I'm paying about $225/mo.

I'm thinking about following the good weather so summer in BC and
winter in Mexico or further South.

Thanks a lot. I mistakenly thought that tying up to a dock for a long
period was also called mooring.
