boat delivery south

Joe,

Well, 5 years is certainly too long to store the boat, but I
do think it's a shame to give it up after all the work you've
put into it.  It's particularly a shame since you'll be in
such a great area for having an Alberg 30.

I'm pretty sure you could get the boat delivered for less than 
8K, even with a professional delivery skipper.  If you go with
an amateur, perhaps an Association member, perhaps not, it could
be even cheaper.
