Moving to St. thomas USVI from Jersey.
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 Michael Austin Jersey City nj. http://www.wavestation.com |

Moving to St. thomas USVI from Jersey.
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.

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... :-( Tongo Glenn Ashmore wrote: I have a feeling that the used boat market is going to be a bit soft for the next 5 or 6 months.

Ok Glenn I am very impressed with your boat project...
You have all the engineering skills I lack. I wish you the best. Tongo Glenn Ashmore wrote: I have a feeling that the used boat market is going to be a bit soft for the next 5 or 6 months.

Glenn ,, tell me/us more about the mooring ball deal in USVI.
Who do/does one talk to about this? Where would I go for more info? Will the boat be safe when I'm not there? =============== "Glenn Ashmore" wrote in message news:nUbCg.9457$ok5.3931@dukeread01...

I don't have all the details but as I replied to Skip privately my
information comes from my sister-in-law's husband who has his 36 Hunter on a ball in CA harbor. He is one of those relatives you see only at Christmas and funerals so I have not really pressed him for details. He had the mooring installed a couple of years ago and has kept the boat on it year round ever since. He gets down to the boat 5 or 6 times a year for a couple of weeks but there are a number of liveaboards around him and they have sort of a neighborhood watch program and he has an arrangement with a couple of them to check the boat periodically. Apparently the mooring permit is only a couple hundred bucks a year but Skip has heard that they are hard to come by. According to the CFR the whole north side of the harbor is designated as a small boat anchorage and the Harbor Master controls anchorage permits so if I were looking for a spot I would start with that office or the VI Port Authority http://www.viport.com/ . -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.
