I guess if you use the ramp you can't park in the secured lot.

Yep. Just buy your permit!! I got a ticket one year. Billy said now they have a meter machine that takes credit cards. You just leave the permit on your dash.

Any idea if there is over night parking there? I have a building in Brooklyn that I can drop the trailer but It still a bit of a hike from the ramp.

I don't know much about the ramp but every year there are a bunch of trucks/trailers parked at the marina. Not sure if they all use the travel-lift to get parking but there's usually a good number of trucks/trailers parked in the field.

I am so upset about this weather forcast. Too bad we cant postpone till the following weekend.

I really don't think it's going to be a wash-out, just a chance of showers/storms. The real rain is supposed to be tonight/tomorrow. Let's hope I'm right.

Here's Johnny

I couldn't agree more... Even if it isn't a washout it sux to have to deal with crap weather.... I can't see Billy postponing though... Between people from out of state, permits, insurance, etc....it would be hard if not impossible.

Billy, thanks for a really great time this year!

I agree...It was a good turn out I'd say about 40ish boats despite the rain . Better than sitting home kicking stones pissed off about the rain.Thanks Billy
