2017 North East Rendezvous

[sgharford]

Do we want to do a North East Rendezvous this year? The current baby of my family is now 7 months old so a little easier to travel this year. I'll organize if I can make chosen destination and date. Anywhere good on the south shore? We haven't done that.

Good idea to get an early start this time. I'd certainly be interested in doing it again.

South Shore of Long Island? Hmmm,... not much that I can think of except maybe Fire Island, which may be limited on things to do if you're not into beaches and lighthouses and the one marina I found in a Boat US search is way too close to Cherry Grove. But there are other marinas.

The other possibility is Sag Harbor, but I don't think it's much different than Greenport. There are no Brewer's Marinas on the south shore. I know that may be a consideration for some.

I'd be interested in going although refit won't be completed by then. I'll take my express cruiser Some places come to mind is montauk or mystic, port Jeff. Or port Washington. Besides the ones mentioned sag or green port

I'd like to make it this year, it's all dependent upon the dates. Weddings I cant get out of.

[Glory]

I'm in!

South Shore, that's an interesting destination?

I guess we need to pick a date and location.

MR. Shardford, your offer to get to work is great, I to will pitch in.

These usually happen around the Saturday at the end of July (29th this year) or beginning of August (5th). Other dates are possible, of course. But maybe we should firm up a date first, before everybody's summer gets jammed up.

Has anyone considered NY harbor area? Several places on the NJ side of the Upper Bay including behind the Statue of Liberty and Liberty Landing. Easy cheap ferry ride to Mid Town Manhattan etc. There would be certainly lots to do and it would attract HOFers from all over NJ and the Hudson River. Might be a nice change. If it can be in NY harbor area or City island (Westernmost LI Sound) I would like to make it but I would prefer the first weekend in August since my boat will be in the Chesapeake until probably mid July for a complete Awlgrip job and refit.
