So, I guess I am in a bit of a fix and could use some local help. I just bought a C27 on e-bay that lies in Dana Point. They need it moved in five days. I need to get it to Utah somehow, but the main problem is finding a temp slip for a couple of weeks.
Any Ideas?

I got curious... I see--what--2,000+ slips in the cove at Dana Point? Is there not a single one available for a 2-week transient?

Here's a starting point for [url="http://marinas.com/browse/marina/US/CA/1/D"]Dana Point marinas[/url]. (Obviously, I'm on the wrong side of the country. )

A new anchorage law just passed in Dana Point. Buys you three days out of the harbor, five days in, and three more out. Harbor Patrol has discretion to allow more time.

Dave and Clay, I've never heard of an available slip in Dana Point Harbor. Even as a kid, San Diego was the usual for boat owners in OC while they sit on Newport and Dana Point Harbors' wait lists. I'd think guest slips should be a part of the harbor businesses economy. Let us know about guest slips.

If you can get north around Point Mugu, there are lots of slips, cheap too. Maybe even cheaper boat yards for the haul out.

I really only need the slip for a couple of weeks Until I can arrange to get her home. I hope the weather permits. But then I guess if it doesn't what are they going to do? The adventure begins!

Layup at a boat yard is an option to the sellers. Something around $40 a day in California. I hope I made my point somebody wants that slip in 5 days!

Oceanside Harbor (20 miles south of Dana Point) has transient slips. Go there for a week and then back up to Dana Point and use their transient slips. Or head down to Quivira Basin in Mission Bay (San Diego) and rent a slip for two weeks. Both Mission Bay and Dana Point have anchorages but require some presence on the anchored boat. No anchoring allowed in Oceanside Harbor.

How far is Mission Bay? Yea Rrick, I would guess buying a boat there is about the only way I would be able to afford to get into that marina. I figured it would be more complicated than I had planned, but if I allow myself to over-analize I would't leave the house. It was a donated boat maybe the PO can help.

Why do you need a slip at all if your going to haul it to Utah? Find a Marina and have it put up on the hard. This will give you time to set up your transportation and ready the boat.

Thats probably good advise Scott. I guess I was dreaming of Christmas on the water in So Cal, but donated boat, never been aboard, maybe I was just dreaming.

With a "donation" boat you've never seen (?), much less seriously checked out (??), your first sail might be more comfortable on your home lake than on the Pacific, where, for example, you need to know where the kelp beds are.

You bought into the marina through the boat purchase? I'm sure they've cracked down on the practice (originally caused by "their" law), but growing up it was not uncommon to see $30,000 - $100,000 barely floating derelict yachts in Newport Harbor simply to transfer rights of a mooring. Maybe you have something special and need to contact a third party broker. We're happy to contribute to over analyzing

No, no. I meant just to wander around in that harbor. I wish it was my slip!

Up date.
So I got the boat and the owner let me pay for the rest of the month (at 12 bucks a night). Maybe things have loosened up some but there were a few options. There were a number of guest slips available @ $25 a night. It seems like the only slips that were wait-listed were the 30+ sizes. And the boat is ready to sail. looks like Christmas in Catalina just might happen.
