Mr. V, who is 8 & 10, boy or girl?
Son is 10, daughter 8, both in May.

Come on down, the pool is about 20 feet from the dock and there is always room at the house.

Got me there, need to spend a whole 30 seconds in the bay......and that's at idle

Looks like perfect weather this weekend for me to work on the exhaust or you'll be laughing when I ask for a ride on the Dip run.

Daughter is going in to 3rd.

Liberty Landing.....if you're riding with Panther figure about 6 hours as he gets really nervous when he's not in the river , otherwise door to door in about 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Should only take about 30 minutes from LL to inside Sandy Hook. The no wake zones in the river are a killer.

Panther should have never been caught anchoring in the river with that big bad new ride.

If its rough, it may take a bit longer in the 24.

It may take an 1 or 1 1/2 for you in the potatoe chip but last weekend it took me maybe 10 min to cross the bay, 40 min door-to-door if I had to estimate, cruising at 3600 and that's even after we idled between the two bridges.

To give you an idea, I left Liberty Landing the same time my sister left by car. We drove across the "BAY", thru the river and back to the marina, put it on the lift, flushed the motors, washed the boat and put the cover on before she showed up at the marina......

I thought you were going to say, it looks like perfect weather for a "boat ride" this weekend, not fix the "rope seals"......

Fix the rope seals. Do it! do it!... (dodge ball reference)

Don't forget that we hung under the Verranzano for a bit too.
