Completing purchase of a 2001 380DA. I need to get the boat from Greenport, Long Island to Manasquan Inlet, NJ. Weather permitting, I would like to run throught the Peconic Bays, through the Shinnecock Canal into Shinnecock Bay and out Shinnecock Inlet, as opposed to running the LI Sound, and I want to do it in one day. My surveyor is a fisherman and he tells me Shinnecock Bay and Inlet are in great shape in spite of Hurricane Sandy. Can anyone confirm or deny?
Currently the boat has 1/4 tank of gasoline. We are planning on departing around 0600 on April 13 and I will likely not see the boat again til around 8pm on April 12. I need to tank up before leaving the inlet, and with 1/4 tanks, I'm going to need to tank up somewhere close to Greenport, at a facility that's open at o'dark:30. Any ideas? The marina that the boat is berthed at does not have functional fuel docks at this point. Broker mentioned that he believes Picozzis on Shelter Island is open for fuel.
So here's what I need guys...
1. condition of the bays leading from Greenport to Shinnecock Inlet
2. a functioning gas dock that I can get to on about 65 gallons.
Thanks for any and all help!
