Hi Bob,
My son keeps his 31ft "non-catalina" (ugh) sailboat in Sunset Harbor just north of Forked River. But he is very enthused about sailing. I helped him out on maintenance this Spring, so I could ease him into the reality that a sailboat is a collection of systems, all requiring maintenance, and that you have to pay attention to details.
It's tough maintaining a boat 2 hours away. You have to plan multiple jobs, because if you forget a tool or something else, it's either postpone it or buy it locally, but you have to go on to the next job..
To compensate, it's a lovely area down there, and the yard and boat people are always nice. Even the people on Rt 9W are nice by letting you make left turns across the lane craziness of that highway.
However, he doesn't get the benefit (at least directly) of a Catalina Mainsheet and super organization like the Cat-27 list. His list is moribund.
Next time I'm down there I'll stop and look at your boat so we'll recognize it on the water.
