Been at PIB on the city docks every weekend pretty much for three years. I was there last night for dinner actually. I've never had a problem with the safety of my boat. $100 tips to the dock guys doesn't hurt either. Stay on A dock. Adam and Joe are the main dock guys, they run a tight ship. PIB is as relaxing or as crazy as you make it. Police are very nice unless you are an idiot, then look out.

Try the Commodore Resort. I've never stayed there but I know some of the LEOPA members who have. Never heard any complaints from them .....

I dont think its nearly as crazy as it use to be. its pretty much just about right if you are looking for a party. Best time at the docks is after the last ferry leaves. its funny watching the people that got stuck there trying to weigh out there options (drunk).
foods pretty good at the Boardwalk and several other places out there to

Last time I took the stinger over I was docked behind the loudest, most drunken idiots ever.

Elizabeth Park, just south of Trenton, on the road to Grosse Isle, has a great ramp and good security.
But if I was you and the date is the important factor in your weekend, I would go ahead and drive out to the state park on Cataba Island. Cross the pretty new bridge in Toledo and follow Hiway 2 around.
Woah is the man who has to make the run back back to Detroit on Sunday in 8 to 10's with a slight hangover.
Use the gas saved to go to Kelly's and Sandusky Bay...you will enjoy your weekend a lot more.
On Erie, it's better to want to boat, then have to boat, on some days.

Has anyone tried leaving their rig over night at Bolles I can't imagine they would tow the truck and 43' trailer.
Who plans on doing the LEOPA thing on Friday?

and seaweed in your water pickups.QUOTE]
I think you were refering to PIB, but also we had a miserable time with that at the boardwalk in Kelly's last year. We left there early on labor day Monday and wound up so choked up that we limpted on one engine to the bay and Ian spent about 6 hours working on the hoses, pickup etc., he finally solved the problem and we left for home about a half hour before sunset. We have also smoked an impeller or two right around the area between the Ford Yacht Club and Erie Metro Park, thick floating seaweed seems to be a big problem, so be observent.
