Put in Bay updates
 

how is the docking situation? I heard there is limited dock space for the most part of June? We are trying to plan a trip for the end of the month , would be need space for 42, 38 & a 35 , sounds like we might be better off waiting until all the docks are finished.. keep us posted those that are local:cool:

We were there yesterday for a bit. A and C dock are being worked on. Was told by 2 different locals the focus is to get C dock up and going before A and they are estimating Mid to End of July for C dock now.

If your going up during the week, docking at B dock should be fine as long as there isn't a large island event. To guarantee yourself a dock reserve and pay for one at Middle Bass and take the Sunny S shuttle boat over to PIB. Not the ideal situation but at least you know you will have a spot.

ok thanks for the update, looks like a mid week trip would work better for our crew.. PIB must be loosing a ton of tourist revenue with construction going on peak season.. WTF were they thinking :confused:

Was thinking about heading to PIB this Sunday afternoon to spend the night then off to Cedar Point for Monday. However, with the Docks the way they are, not sure I am going to stop in at PIB. May just head directly to CP on Monday.

We are thinking same thing. Just saw on B docks FB page that they are rented out all weekend for some sail boat club:bsflag:

They have it reserved from 6pm Friday to noon Sunday. We might run up Sunday for the night and head back Monday.

Not a sailboat club..its the mills race, a fairly big race in the blowboat world.

We were there memorial day, just went over for the afternoon. We had no problem docking for the day. The guys working B dock told us they would be surprised if either dock is open until atleast the end of July. I thought C dock looked pretty good, not sure what they have left to do to it. The B dock guy said A dock has changed very little since April.

We will be up Sunday night to Monday morning, with or without boat. We'll check for you on B dock.

Well, I am not a certified dock builder or in the heavy construction business but we sat at the Boardwalk from 3:15 to 4:45 and there were 5 workers on a barge and they managed to set 1, yes 1, 12" diameter vertical metal dock tube in place with the crane. At that rate, it's going to be awhile. Again, I do not know the circumstances just an observation, someone needs to light a fire and get it done.

What other options are there that are close to downtown? Millers? Duggans? PIB YC ? any recommendations? trying to reserve 3 spots for Last weekend in June
