Small sailing

The last few months we have spent only the occassional weekend at the boat. We've taken two trips to Ocracoke--one was a simple overnight, the other was a lovely 3 day trip which ended in a dreary, rainy, but not too cold, sail home.

We've also taken a few day sails from the dock at Whittaker Creek Yacht Harbor. We like our new home, and decided to look into buying a slip (a dockominium). We gathered information from the web on sales prices for the 80 or so slips at WCYH, along with information on the slip location, and year, and we ran a regression. Except for the anomaly of very low prices in the early 2000's and very high prices from 2005 to 2007, the nominal prices for these slips are fairly flat. So, maybe we won't buy a slip just yet...
