John: Thanks for the list of web sites. I knew about the RIliving one, which is very good, but the others are new to me, and I'm glad to have them.

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&: I know you're right. One difficulty is our plan to rent the place out until we're ready to move; for a summer-rental situation to work, it's got to be w/in a mile of the water, I do believe. Another difficulty is my wife: she wants to be that close to the water as well or she'd just as soon stay put here in NY. I guess we'd be willing to look further north along the coast but it seems to me those places would be even more expensive. Am I wrong?
