Jeffrey,
Some folks I know in New Bern claim to "never winterize". They do however
say they will go down to the boat for me if they get a real cold spell and
stick on a heater. So to me that defines the grey area of how far north you
can stay. Certainly Charleston is indeed far enough. If you are nearer the
ocean than New Bern or Oriental you get milder temps.
For what its worth, I would say Beafort NC south, but when I was in New
Orleans it got down to 5 degrees. So how would anyone know.
BTW last year I searched around the internet and found several marinas in
Beaufort and Elizabeth city areas with special deals to attract winter over
Yankees. Might want to search around. One was offering $500 free fuel or
work and one free haul out. For Skooch that would have been enough fuel to
get me there and back, at least back at the old prices :)

Subject: T&T: Winterizing line on the East Coast...
I'm starting to plan where I'd like to leave my boat this Fall in the South
for next year's cruising. I'm thinking of not going as far as Florida this
year and was wondering where the "winterization" line should be considered?
In other words, how far south do you need to go so that you don't
practically have to worry about performing winterization procedures?
Any thoughts about Charleston, SC?
