Thank you guys. I should have been a little more specific: I'm more than happy to anchor and am used to doing so here in BC, where we have 14 foot tides and tidal rapids that flow at over 15 knots. Moorings would be cool, but I'd prefer to avoid docks/marinas.

Kegoangoango, thanks for the recommendation. I'll check 'em out, but I'm looking for a smaller boat since it'll just be the two of us. I've found a couple 30-something footers that would be perfect. The majority of my experience is on my Sabre 27.
