my boat buying experience

All,
Thanks for your congratulations and yes I do plan to sail the boat south. I have had several offers both on Sailnet and neighbors and friends from NC to help take the boat south. So I am sure I will have help one way or the other. However, it will be an extended trip as I do want to get some time with the PO and that may require staying in the CT area awhile. Fortunately, we have family in MA (about an hour away), so we don't have to outfit the boat to live on it, right now. We also have friends in NJ that we would like to spend some time with (and take them sailing). Does anyone have any suggestions for places to leave the boat in NJ? I don't want to pay Marina charges as transient docking is around $3/ft per night. So I am looking for other ideas, anyone with an empty private dock/ mooring I could use for a few weeks? But I am getting ahead of myself. Right now focusing on completing the deal. The weather has delayed the sea trial and closing until next week.

thanks again
