Yea, Andy's a good guy, but I agree prices--particularly sail prices- are outrageous.
Full hook-ups are nice. I looked at Sands' website--$40/day plus it sounds like they might not welcome our 3 dogs--2 pet max policy.
Thanks for the heads up about Ocracoke. We were in Hatteras last May and Moe and her son got stuck on Ocracoke for ~6 hours waiting for the tide--the ferryman's explanation was that wind direction was shallowing portions of the route. Hmm . . .gonna have to give all this some thought.
