Pics from Boston today
 

Buddy and I took our boys out for an early morning coffee and donuts ride to George's Island in Boston, beautiful day.

Few more...

Very cool!

Nice boat ... beautiful day!

Thanks guys. Docking there can be tricky, you are not allowed to broadside, have to stern in and hope your boat is there when you get back.

cool, I love a morning boat ride(donuts are a bonus)

Nice trip we did it a few times from the Painted gas tanks before they closed the ramp there pre 911, and also would trailer to hingham put in there. and go there and into Boston for the day. hey were you in plymouth last year or year before thought I saw that boat at brewers marina at the trans slips? artie

Artie: wasn't me in the Warlock a few years ago, this is my first season with it but it is a local boat.
Morning boat rides are great and yes donuts make them even better.

Good looking boat you got there !! Jo

Nice to see you are enjoying your boat with your offspring. My kids are grown up now and anything less than wave jumping at 75+ is boring to them.

I miss those days like you are enjoying now. You are blessed.

boat looks great. how is water in boston harbour and surrounding area? i have a formula 242 sr-1 and always boat in narragansett bay but would like to go to plymouth and up to boston.

Thanks again guys, I feel blessed to enjoy days like that. Used to be wide open from start to finish but now just idling around works just as well (with the occasional blast to clear out the cobwebs) and is usually much cheaper.
Boston Harbor is beautiful. There is a lot to do and the water is probably cleaner now than it has been in years. It does get rough in certain areas especially with all the large boat traffic. If anyone plans to come up let me know and we'll hook up.

You guys should hit up Mount Hope Bay got a few guys from the board that blast around. I should be back up and running by next weekend. Motor comes back wensday.

Looks like a great day !
 

Nice pics.Fobes !
It's a great place to bring the kids and let'em explore.Yup,docking can be tricky in there.

Scott,
It's a great place to boat. You really need to follow the channels . It can get confusing with channels crossing each other sometimes. Pulling into Boston is awesome tho.
I need to make it up the Charles River sometime. I usually boat Narraganset Bay also and make Fall trips up there.

Cruising Boston
 

You should try the new marina at Specticle Island . There is a restaurant there, plus you must go up to the hill facing the airport fantastic views !!! HIGH LIFE P.s. Great place for a rendevous !!

Id love an oso gathering sounds good to me. Hey Mike i saw you at the Fall River Run but didnt get to talk to you. You were out of there to fast. :et me know next time you go out hopefully im ready.
Mike

I think a gathering is in order, I'm docked a 1/2 hour away and frequent the area but haven't actually been on George's since i was a kid

So you can actually boat into the city?

Yes you can, right up the harbor, over to Charlestown, by the Aquarium, the North End etc. You can head over to the locks too and go up the Charles river. Bill

Pretty cool trip. The Charles River takes ya through.

Its been ten years since I was up the river with my dad and so searays, we gave them a head start cause my dad had a hard time parking the trailer:eek: on our way out we made so much noise going under the bridges a statecop drove along the waters edge by the time we got to the locks the sp boat had someother people pulled over hahah. and in the locks the dry exhaust was so loud a party boat with a band could here us:eek: they gave us the thumbs up and we waited then jumped there wake. can't do that now no more 75mph runs up the inner harbor. and those cats are slow the cops have 75 I think its a plug from a old mold no steps 27ft long saw one being built over in hingham . its still a great place to check out and ALL INN fanuil hall market place its near the water, I may be around and could take the train in. art
