Hi folks,
Looking at options for retirement to boating friendly communities in BC. We have a Nordic Tug 34 based at Point Roberts currently, and thinking of Vancouver Island, or the Sunshine Coast (Secret Cove and Half Moon Bay).
Looked at Saltspring, but the prices there are mad, and building regulations excessive (anyhow don't they wouldn't let me in as I am not new age enough). Other gulf-Islands are still on our radar.
My question is really more regarding availability and affordability of long term moorage. I hear Comox is a non-starter with at least a 3 year wait list. What are peoples thoughts of good places of own a boat with a friendly community where you can actually find moorage?
We need a place that is freely accessible by Ferry for the kids, has some infrastructure (a local library at least). Probably have about $1.5 million CAD to put into property.
Cheers
Bill
