thanks for all the replies to my questions. This is going to be a long winter waiting to finally get her launched!

Congratulations on your purchase!  In seven months of cruising I've gotten lots of compliments on the boat and the solid reputation Pearson's have.

While you are waiting for winter to pass have a look through my blog and see where your 323 can take you: www.sailingwanderer.com

Windless?  I keep mine in the cockpit next to me during the day and in the v-berth at night.

Welcome to the family. I just finished moving my family across the state and it had been July since I was on my boat. We all felt so wonderful spending 4 days on her. I need to get her moved from Panama City to Saint Augustine. We want to jump this past week but the weather was not right for a 160 mile jump across the gulf. Moved her intercoastal to Carabelle to set up anoth jump window in late December. We want to keep her in Fort Meyers for the winter and then when we hit our summer break, spend a few months gunk holing the keys and work our way up the coast.

Be prepared for most of your major decisions to involve what is best for the boat. We used to have a three hour drive to her so when we bought a new car, it had to get at least 40mpg. We commuted at least two weekends a month. I did a yearly expense budget for my boat a few years ago. Counting slip fees, insurance, gas money to get back and forth to her and routine maintenance.........it runs me almost $10K a year and that is not factoring the price of diesel we put in her!  :o

Make sure you love your boat before you do any expense budgets.

For the last few years I have been working on restoring a Pearson Triton, but I am not getting any younger and decided I needed a boat to just get out there sailing. I will continue to work away at the Triton, but if someone comes along that wants to pick up the torch all the better. What is the approx cost of keeping your boat at a Marina in Fort Myers for a month? I was in that area a few years ago and did some boating in Pine Island sound and around Sanibel Island area. Nice area.

Just checked out the blog. Crazy, we're from Charleston cruising the Bahamas and are looking to get a Vizsla as our next dog. Great minds think alike I guess. Ha!
