We purchased our Beneteau 461 in the area you are looking at. The
previous owner had it in a private marine "Waterford Yact Club". The
marina is surronded by apartments on one side and very expensive homes
on the other. I think our slip rate was something like $360 per
month. The are is very protected from any type of storm, short of a
Huricane. We lived on the boat for about 3 months before we had is
shipped out.

You have acess to pools, yacht club, showers......

I was never in one of the Waterford apartments, but from the outside
they looked very nice. 24 hour security, gated, etc.

I recommend the area and the marina. Excellent boatyard there also if
you need any work done.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the lead.
I'll look then up.

Beneteau 461, huh?
Man, you and I are at opposite ends of the bragging spectrum.

I've located an older apartment complex in Seabrook - on Clear Lake.
They were receintly renovated. Looks pretty good.

that one provides a slip for $40 per month and 25 feet from my front
door.

Only down side is the tiny "stackable" washer and dryer set up.
Maybe I need to upgrade my wardrobe to shorts and sandals?

I've been sailing fresh water exclusively.
Going into salt (I assume Clear Lake is salty) I think the boat will
need the bottom redone with very good anti-fowling paint.
Otherwise she's in pretty good shape now.

Well, this is what dreams are made of...
