Some of the best bargains for used sailboats are in the Caribbean. People
buy a boat, decide the cruising life is for them and after a few months,
they put their boat on the market and head back to the states.

Can't say I blame them if their cruising experience was limited to the
East Coast and Caribbean. Same ol', same ol', if you know what I mean.
Those with REAL adventure in their bones eventually migrate to the
better Pacific climes...the Cortez, the Great North Waste, the South
Pacific, Hawaii (and NOT flying offseason class).

And I do agree that sail is the way to go.
