Greenport LI rendezvous Aug 6-10

Thought I'd add some pics from our trip to Greenport. It was a blast. Great meeting Dancin' Dave and family and Ric and his wife.


We pulled out of Port Washington friday morning to some nice weather

We stumbled into a ship store and in the back was nothing but salvaged boat stuff. Everything from old rope to fishing rods. Most of it was junk.

Here's a pic of me waiting for something like a bat to fly out from under the bridge and attack me.

We walked through town. Here's everyone doing a Gary imitation.

We then headed back to Mitchell's and the girls wanted to ride the Ferris wheel.

It was way too fast for me though

After a long day, they guys walk the docks to discuss man stuff.

Had a little party on Dancin' Dave's boat where he forced us to drink milk. (I stole that from Dave's post)

Someone reported me for sneaking a beer onto Dancin' Dave's boat and I had to spend the night in the Greenport lockup

Monday we went back to Claudio's for some steamers and beer

As we were finishing up our bucket of beer, the YP ships started to arrive.

Not enough room on the pier so two had to raft up

I should also note that the generators on these things are freakin loud. One generator powers all 6 ships and runs 24/7. It pretty much sounds like a lawn mower is running in your cabin at night.

It was a fantastic trip and Greenport was great. Looking forward to returning next year, but without the storms this time.
 
Actually I just realized I have all my days messed up. but you get the idea.
