I look at it being cheaper than marriage counseling. And luckily here on Lake Champlain in Vermont you can put a mooring in wherever you want for free. It's regulated by your access, so our mooring is in Converse Bay in Charlotte, which has a state fishing/boating access ramp. We're allowed to park in the lot overnight, and we have their one dock to tie up the dinghy when we need to. Moslt of our sailing friends that aren't near us or in the 2 nearby marinas moor at Kingsland Bay state park where they're allowed to keep their dinghies on shore at the park. Ed
