Jim...I may start a 5-8 month contract position at a
govt contractor located at the space center...not far from
the clearlake area...i would look to get a ericson 32, 35 or
38 (1985-1990) to live on while working...Then move it
once the contract is compleated ...

NASA is almost at the water's edge on the North side of Clear Lake.
There are lots of marinas on that side, as well as the South. Start
here for info: http://www.clearlakearea.com/

Here is where I stay, on the South side:

It's a good time to come to this area. (I worked for NASA for 11 years.)

As a suggestion, you might want to contact some of the sailboat charter
companies (such as Sackets) to check out their boats that are for sale,
or to charter one or two. There are lots of boats for sale and lots of
people trying to sell them. - I would begin by checking
"yachtworld.com" for their Houston-Kemah area listings.

Jim

cool...thanx Jim for the tips...i will keep them
in mind.....
