Hello again everyone,

So I have not been out yet since been busy unpacking and getting settled in,but I have bought charts and everything for the area and should be out this weekend or next weekend. My big question is where are all the anchoring spots, beach spots, and restaurant/bar spots are that everyone hangs out at when out on the boats???

I live in VB so I hang out around here almost all the time, The Lynnhaven Inlet has a couple ramps, one public and a private ramp at Bubbas that works fine if public is full. I try and run over to the tiki bar on the eastern shore once or twice a month, it can be a rough ride so you really have to pick your days, if there calling for anything over 10kts then it's probably going to be too rough. If you put in at Portsmouth City park you can run over to Ft Monroe in Hampton, there is a beach bar called Bay Beach club or something, the water is deep right up to shore so you can anchor close. Some guys also run up to Chippokes St park up the James River, too far for me, plis the cleanest water is in VB.

I am going to try and run to Tiki Saturday is weather is good, it's about 20-25 miles across the bay from VB, if you look at a chart the Tiki Bar is located just west of the fishermans Island inlet, it's basically the last structure before the Chesp Bay Bridge Tunnel.

Welcome to the area. I think I saw you found a Realtor but if not my mom is one and I am a mortgage consultant :). Anyways, I keep my boat over at Sunset Dry Storage in Hampton, Virginia. If you are dropping in at City Park, not too far from you by water for sure just across the Hampton Bay. Post some pictures up of your boat. Have you been out recently?

Sun Rocket are you here yet?(Did the boat make it? :whistle:) How goes it?

Hi guys, yep we are here and settled in. We got the boat out 4 times but I ended the season in October due to my transducer leaking. I have the boat completly torn down and redoing almost everything. I hope to be done before Poker Run For A Cure. I have a thread in restorations & upgrades documenting the work I'm doing to the boat.
