We have number of people expressing an interested on doing the trip to Rye Playland. Let's have a dedicated thread on it and see if we can make the trip happen.
I just spoke to the dockmaster and would like to point out few facts to set proper expectations:
1. There's a small mooring field operating on the first come first serve basis. Knowing exact dates, I plan on communicating with the dockmaster and see if he can reserve the balls for us. There are only 5 mooring balls that can accommodate 50'ers and about 10+ that will take 35'ers. They expect to have total of 26-28 mooring balls.
2. I was told that on a calm night we will be allowed to raft two boats per mooring. However, the larger vessels (45-50'ers) can only have smaller boats tie up to them.
3. In case if we run out mooring balls, there are few options to anchor. There's limited room inside mooring field and quite a bit room outside. If the winds in our favor, then it will be no problem using outside anchorage area.
Outstanding questions:
1. What date are we looking at?
2. Who's interested in participating?
Any comments and/or questions are welcomed.
Cheers,
Alex.
