Hi all, Seeking some advice for a two-day excursion (one night) to the Greenwich area in July. Looking for a good spot to anchor, lunch, and swim (thinking near the Captain Islands, which I hear are pretty scenic?). Then, I'd like to stay on a transient mooring if possible (Grass Island...

So I have an older Sundancer, and I have always smelled exhaust to some degree, but what really puzzles me is that even when moving forward, against the wind no less, the exhaust smell will come forward into the helm area. This past weekend it was coming forward so much that my CO detector...

Hi all, Any advice for Jones Inlet this season? I've traversed this inlet probably close to a dozen times, but I noticed this year that my GPS has not saved my tracks from previous years. Any shoaling going on? I believe in the past I hugged the eastern side of the inlet, is that still the...

So for my 27' boat, that would be $10 per foot - is that accurate? What is it, a flat rate? That's bananas.

Thanks, are you able to make a reservation at Seaview?

Hi all, Any recommendations for a non-resident, looking for 2 nights (Fri/Sat) as close to Ocean Beach as possible? This is for this coming weekend, which is not yet "high season". I'm thinking I have a shot at Atlantique, if I get there early on Friday (should be around Noon). Otherwise...

Hey guys, So I was planning on staying at Atlantique for the weekend, starting on Friday. Spoke to them last week and they said for non-Islip residents, it is usually no problem, but it's first come first serve to Islip residents. He encouraged me to call back this week, to check in. So I...

Hi Sea Ray friends, I have noticed an oily sheen on the water in the back of my boat, very frequently, when the boat is running. What is the cause of this? My mechanic indicated that this is common and kind of normal. Is this accurate? I sure hope not because I would like to be as...

Hi all, Just wondering if there is any sort of service or website where you can rent somebody else's mooring, if they are not using it for a particular day, or weekend. For instance, I was just in Port Jefferson this past weekend, and there were a bunch of moorings in scenic Mt. Misery Cove...

Hi all, Staying at Danfords for the weekend. Can anybody recommend a bike rental and a kayak rental place in the vicinity of the harbor? I've been searching and have not found much at all, which is surprising.

Yeah, I guess water taxi might be a good bet. Hey Xplicitnlck, do you know if Sea Ray makes a boat similar to yours after the 1990s/early 2000s? I love the lines and the styling, and the ability to fish, but I think it'd be a bit too much boat for me, would love something like that in a 29' or...

Hey all, I'm looking to stay on Fire Island for a few nights. Usually I stay at Flynn's, in Ocean Bay Park. I would like to explore the Sunken Forest. The westermost side of the Sunken Forest is close to Ocean Bay Park/Flynn's but I'm not sure if there is a proper entrance there. So my...

Hello NY/NJ Boaters, Any recommendations for a one night stay in scenic Nyack, NY? I have stayed on a mooring at Nyack Boat Club, and the water taxi captain kind of hinted that they would probably accommodate me overnight, but it not a typical service they offer and it is mostly moorings with...

Oh my ... what a pain it is to remove this table in order to convert the dinette into the bed. There are about 20 screws where pole meets floor, and then you have to unscrew the table top from the pole. Is there an easier way to do this? Such a terrible design, almost shockingly terrible...

Hey guys - headed to Fire Island from NY Harbor on Friday. Looking for fuel along the way, in the Jones Inlet area. Is there any gasoline in Point Lookout, just to the west of Jones Inlet? Any other suggestions for fuel? I'll be taking Jones Inlet and then the state boat channel along the...
