Lookin pretty good so far! :cool-smiley-011:

SATURDAY: MAINLY SUNNY, HIGHS IN THE LOW 90's. ..NW WINDS 5 TO 10 KT...BECOMING SE IN THE AFTERNOON...THEN BECOMING S. SEAS 2 TO 3 FT. ."

Never been to Brocco's I'm up for that call me let's make a plan. I've had eniugh of the bay I need a road trip.

Patty's is usually very quite on Saturday unless you go late (evening/night) .......Bracco's is a better choice on Saturday afternoon. Sunday Patty's gets packed in the late afternoon and Bracco's is also hopping too...........

We used to go to Paddys every other weekend about 5 years ago since it's only a 20 minute trip to the inlet and another 10-15 from there. We would even make the run over on a Friday after work and it was fun. These days it doesn't seem to be the happening place and towards the end of when we went there, the crowd wasn't as inviting.

I enjoy Bracco's much more and would like to start venturing out to the places on Fire Island.

If you ever get the chance try heading down our way and check out the area, it's only a 30 minute trip across the ocean. :cool-smiley-011:

Panther.............I have to agree with you here......they get crowded on Sunday evening but the crowd is undesirable at times. As far as Fire Island I would recommend Flynn's (http://flynnsfireisland.com/)...... Not that I am the Fire Island expert but I have been to Flynn's twice this year. Lot's to do....nice beaches, good restuaraunts, eye candy, shops for the wives, fun to just walk around and sight see, and also some eye candy. Just call way ahead they are usually booked for overnighters weeks in advance. As far as heading toward you guys what's good over there for a sunday cruise........

and don't forget the Manhasset Bay Poker Run on August 25th..............it looks like NPBA dropped the Glenn Cove run so I would expect a better showing this year then some in the past..........weather permitting I will be running............John

If you head down for a Sunday cruise I'd recommend the tiki bar at theWindansea and stop by the Island before you head back. The dock at Windansea tends to fill up around 1 pm so I'd recommend getting there earlier or you'll have to anchor up across the river and they have a boat that comes out and picks you up.

As a matter of fact, next Saturday (Aug. 11th.) there will be a party at the island with live Reggea music through out the day. Lots of people will be spending the night, my wife is pregnant so we'll be heading back around dark or maybe later.....

I think my sister will be at Manhasset on Saturday for the PR but I'm going to be in Patchougue for the OPA race Sat/Sun.

Last year I ran up and caught the tail end of the Glen Cover PR, picked up my sister and rode back to Jersey. That's kind of the reason I started this thread because we do a lot of traveling to the north shore, south shore, upstate ny and south Jersey so I'm trying to get some folks to come see us for a change!!! :cool-smiley-011:

Sak, Hunster,

I gotta be back home by 4 pm Saturday, I have somewhere to be in the evening.

Will probably head out around 11, head up there and grab some lunch and a few cola's, then head back home on the ocean!!

I have a job early saturday in sea bright tinting a townhouse @ tradewinds. Probably watch you roll out! I'll call you if I get done in time. nice quick 1g job to keep the gas tank full!!!!

Oh well....

At least next weekend is the ISLAND PARTY!!!! :party-smiley-048: :party-smiley-020: :cheer: :ernaehrung004:
