I am taking a pretty large trip in a boat I just bought in Boston. I am planning on driving it down with a few other experienced boaters to West Babylon, LI. Have a few questions for anyone...
1. Has anyone ever done a trip like that? If so, how was it?
2. Any idea on travel time? My boat cruises around 25 MPH
3. Do you recommend going between the forks? Along the coast and into Shinnecock canal??
4. Stop over? Needed? If so, what do you think about staying in BI for the night?
I have a 280DA... twin 5.0 Mercs. If that helps.
I understand a lot is going to depend on sea conditions... so I guess lets just all assume decent seas. I have been checking the buoy statistics often, highest I have seen in the past week or so is ~2 footers.
Thanks for any advice!!!
