The annual guys trip to Block Island is nearing - 8/8-8/12. We are thinking about going to Greenport for one night on the way (Tuesday night). We really want to go to Claudio's and the rates seemed fair. He mentioned that he did not have floating docks but a long dock to tie to. Is there anything I should know or re-consider?

Thanks,

Mark
 
I would go to Mitchell's marina as it is protected. I think you will be rocking all night, put out lots of fenders.
 
Mitchell Park Marina is definitely the place to be, it's right next door. Keep in mind Claudios is a very different place on the weekends, especially on Sunday- party central. The LI rendezvous group will be in Block that week, just a short ride!

We are going to Block for 4 days later that week. We just wanted to try one day at someplace new on the way. We will arrive Wednesday til Sunday at Champlains. I hope some of you guys will still be there!

So let me ask you a question - I was planning the route on my gps and noticed after going thru plum gut there is shallow water by orient beach. At first glance I thought to go inside red 2 but I am re-considering. Do you travel a little further away from the shore and go around 2 at the tip of long beach, then head SWest toward red 6? Also, when I see Claudio's am I traveling into the inlet with Claudio's on my right? My charts aren't showing that detail and I figured I would see it once I arrive but I thought I would ask a pro:smt001.

Thanks for any tips.

You can cut inside without a problem but it is shallow and some pots around, I usually go wide and pass red to starboard staying in the channel, then turning to starboard heading north then west around Shelter Island to your port and Claudios and Mitchell Park will be to starboard after passing the jetty and Sterling Harbor on the same side.
 
Any recommendations on gas? Best price in that area - according to Mitchell's they don't have fuel.
Also - is there a ferry that goes to Sag Harbor?

Thanks,

Mark
 
Mark, you have to go into Sterling Harbor to Brewers or Townsend for fuel, I try to avoid fueling out there. And yes, there is now a ferry service from Mitchell Park Marina to Sag.
 
Mark,
I wouldn't go to far out of your way for fuel, here at Champlins it is $4.70 a gallon.... Not all that bad considering it's Block! :)
 
Got right across to shelter island to dering Harbor. Picozzi's dock is open early. Prices are better than above places.

Hey Mark, i think i saw/talked to you at Mitchell Park . We were there at the same time. Did you pull in with another boat (30' footer?) We were there with another boat also, (26 Four winns) Everything in your post seems to match the guys we met in Greenport! Let me know if that was you. Thanks Jon
