Thanks, and I apologize for piling on the thread.

I think HHN might be more my speed, but HHS is really, really nice also. It seemed HHS attracts a lot of non boaters, which makes party'ers/dock gawkers a potential problem.

Anyway, $3800-4000 is a heck of a lot more than I pay for my current slip, which is about 40 steps from the pool and bath house at a really nice marina. That said, it would save a lot of driving which would narrow the actual cost gap and you could possibly rationalize the time savings for the rest. However, if I do decide to move up bay, the more protected marina would probably get the nod other considerations aside. We've had remnants of two hurricanes come up the bay since we've had our boat(s) and I've been very happy with the protection of our current marina.
