We might be interested... We're going to do Nantucket and Block. If the stars align, we'll join the party.

Wow, a lot has happened since the last time i logged in! Is that all I had to say- let's do Greenport?! Now we have venues, dates, a new thread and Alex at the charge-excellent!!
Obviously count us in, anytime August is good and anywhere mentioned works. Few thoughts- Block is expensive at the dock but accommodating (I will be there for 2 weeks in July). You can put two people on a mooring for $40 a night each, lots of them but first come first serve and they run a launch service. Greenport at Townsend it's a bit of a walk into town but very nice with pool. Mitchell no pool but right in the middle of everything, new floating cement docks and can jump in the water. Nothing really on Shelter but easily accessed from Greenport, great anchorage. Montauk is expensive and a ride into town, very nice but not a whole lot going on. Just two cents.

I'm scheduled to do most of these ports in late July. I'll have to see what my trip mates think about moving the trip into August and aligning at least one port with you guys. Alex I think you experienced most of the Sea Ray owners I boat with on A/B pier at Watch Hill. Count us in for now.
Sorry Todd- didn't mean to bum you out! No excuses this year, you have to make it!!Wow Russ,
After reading that I don't think I want to go anymore.........:lol:
I'm gonna have a little trouble with the Mrs. as she is not a boater at heart like myself. She has agreed to the AC trip with shadow9999, Robert. But her first reaction to another trip with a group of peeps she doesn't know has been less than stellar! I think she is afraid I will disappear to socialize leaving her alone to care for the kids. I will continue to work on her or else I will need a buddy to first mate the run.......Either way I am really looking for to the summer!!
Russ,
I'm glad to have you back my friend. You make good points in regards to the places. We should choose the marina based on number of criterias, including being not over priced. I agree that charges ($5 p/f with 40' min.) in fency places like MYC might chase few boaters away.
Thanks Alex, i am very glad you are at the helm my friend, let me know how i can help. I will be at most of the proposed locations prior to August so if i can scout anything out for anyone let me know.
I forget, did you say you were going to the NY show? If so call me and let's grab a beer this weekend. Hope all is well.
Mike, that would be great! Can I add you to the list?
Brian,
If we end up meeting at Watch Hill, I'll be next to you on the "A" dock.
I got you on the list in the first post.
...I would be up for it, but not sure if my kids would enjoy such a trip. I start hearing "how much longer?" 1/2 hour into some trips.:smt013
Thanks guys!
Our company now blocks many social sites, including photobucket, so I have to find some time to post pics form home (without loading them directly here, which is a pain as I have huge files).
The story is very simple, besides the fact that I found exceptionally clean boat and the owner who pempered her as part of the deal my 320 was accepted as a trade (for reasonable amount), which was the biggest driver. The rest was just regular process details. I did both surveys (hull and mechanical). I have few things that I'll have to address, but in overall the condition of the boat was very much acceptible to me.
It was very "interesting" running the boat in 27degrees with water being 34degrees. When we came back there was ice all over the boat.
She's currently shrink-wrapped and inpatiently waiting for spring. Obviously, I'm counting the days I can take the wrap off.
