[Rhodes22-list] Mooring or slip info

[David Bradley]

Stephen, where is his home base?  I was quoted ~$750/month for a slip in Stamford, CT. It was 3x what i was paying in Seattle.  In the end I gambled and decided to wait for a town resident mooring in the Greenwich town harbor. I just made it through the wait list and now have to wait for a mooring to be sunk. A lost summer.
