As to choosing a boat, make the acquaintance of as many folks living the lifestyle you wish to live as possible. Bring a 12-pack of beer or a big jug of wine.
The best boat is often a boat already being used for the purpose you want to put it to by folks that are becoming too old a fragile to continue or who want to upgrade.
Stay away from wooden boats unless you are a very special boater.
New boats are a pain to equip and de-bug.
Do LOTS of homework, it pays off handsomely!

Subject: lv-ab: How can I find a mooring or marina on the B.C. coast?
My day-dream is to retire in 6 years and cruise the coast of British Columbia in a used sailboat, say 30' or so long.
I think I know how to find a sailboat: for starters, there are so many websites selling boats that it would be hard NOT to find the boat.
However, once I have a boat, where do I store it or tie it up?
I haven't seen much in the way of advertising or talking about moorages or marinas on the Canadian west coast. Has anyone any suggestions as to how to research this problem?
John
