Brewster,
We live aboard at Baltimore Marine Center (the marina east of Anchorage). We have spent the last 5 winters here. One thing we really like is that the marina loads fresh water aboard ever Friday.
As far as winterizing on the hard or in water really depends on if you plan to use the boat at all from Nov 1-April 1. If the answer is no - I would have it hauled, blocked and shrink wrapped. You are going to winterize the engines, genset, freshwater systems, dink, etc anyway. There are a lot of boats at BMC and Anchorage that winter in the water. Some use bubblers, most do not. We have had hard ice form around us some and have had to shovel two 2' snows a few years ago.
