I live in Princeton, but have another house in St. Michaels MD on the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay. Both houses have about the same value but the real estate taxes are less than a third of NJ. My boat is in a slip across the street from my house and I can catch fish or crabs within sight of my slip. There is a very nice maritime museum (if you are into boats) within an easy walking distance as well as at least a dozen restaurants and a couple of grocery stores. Half my neighbors are retired while the other half are weekenders. It is about 3 hours from New Jersey and I make the trip most weekends until I retire. At that point I will sell the NJ house, keep the one in St. Michaels and buy another one on Winyah Bay in South Carolina.
Almost forgot - buying teh place in St. Michaels was my wife's idea. She loves it.
I really don't need to troll for lakers.. I catch them on jigs.. However, jigging in 100' of water all day to catch lakers gets old quick, and they stink to eat.. bluefish are better, for whatever thats worth... I am also thinking about Maryland... We'll see.. In any case, I have told my wife she can stay here if she wants, but I can't and won't.. How that plays out remains to be seen.. I can't see living in this icebox as an old man, and thats not too far down the road... bob
