I was up yesterday with Tina. Got in the river late you were already gone. Had dinner at Ross's then one long azz ride back. We didn't hit the dock in Point till 1:30am. We had to out run a freakin thunder storm from Asbury Park all the way to the dock.

We were at the Island from 11am to about 4 pm. I was leaving the marina when Chuck and Billy got back I think that was around 5 - 5:30.
Too bad we missed you, pick up the damn phone next time!

How was the food??
I got two good meals during the week and Jodie and I got take-out Friday night and ate on the boat and that was good too.
Then about a month ago I had a meal on the weekend and it wasn't so good. Went back the following weekend and it wasn't good again...
Seems like it's hit or miss... I guess the new owner has some things to figure out..

Fair Haven , and surfrider. I gotta know you. Seeing as Fair Haven is 1 mile square , too small . We had a cabana by the pool forever!
Panther - I enjoyed reading your thread and looking at the maps, etc. I grew up in Fair Haven (Sea Bright was my stomping grounds 
) however, have been down in Virginia for the past 13 years. Since I have gotten into High Performance boats, I think about how cool the area I grew up in was and how nice it would be today with my current rig. My parents had a slip down in Red Bank (Irwin's)...with that today, I could just mosey out around the Hook and be in heaven. In fact, I remember sitting on the beach at Surfrider and watching the offshore boats go by and thinking how cool it was!
Virginia is good...we can take the James River out to Chesapeake Bay and then around the cape along Virginia Beach however, that is a long ride! I am curious...can you leave from the Hook and make it to lower Manhattan by boat or is it too rough? I remember being able to see the twin towers from the overlook in Atlantic Highlands on a nice day (then we would go by Bud's Grave). In any event, I have fond memories and miss the area tremendously. When the kids get a bit older, I will return for some Poker Runs. In the interim, I will need to stay put as the Wikepedia shows that the cost of living up there keeps on rising ($110k median in Fair Haven?) which means I likely wouldn't have my new rig if I was still living there!
