People keep asking me the date so here it is. Mike Werdans annual island bash. All the usual suspects , reggae + other bands on the beach . Bring a good anchor or get there early for a spot on the beach.

Yeah Baby!

So far the weather is calling for partly cloudy and 84 degrees both Saturday and Sunday!!!!!!

Never been, its probably too far to boat all the way in my 26 but maybe I can tow down and put in somewhere?

any suggestions?

Lets hope it stays that way !!!! The band lineup looks good. One of the regulars of wind an sea will be there according to the owner. Hope he brings the rock crab claws again this time . New reggae band this year.

I need a new beach umbrella and was not too suprised that all the back to school stuff is out and the summer junk is gone from the stores but I saw halloween candy out in one store !!! Talk about pushing the holiday , it's f ing august !!!!

Atlantic Highlands is your best bet.. It's less than 5 minutes to the island..

Thanks for the launch info.

Sounds like good time.

I will mapquest and see how long it is driving time VS boating time.

Also see whos going from CT area

A friend suggested amybe putting in 1/2 way I'll have to figure out where the best place would be.
Id like to have some water time. 5 minutes is maybe a little too close. LOL

liberty landing is doable. Then you get a look at the city. You can come through the verazano and its a short ride , or around staten island for a smooth ride. We do the reverse all the time. If anyone is coming from out of the area I'll be glad to guide you in though there will be enough boat traffic to easily find it .

Hunster thats a good plan.

I will look into it some more and see if my brother is planning on taking his fountain up too.

Thanks for the offer.

If I end up there, I would very much like to have guide through the new waters.

I am gonna see who from CT is interested in taking the ride.

Sounds good, I'll PM you my phone number.
