Block Island July 3rd-4th Run(CT)
 

:coolcowboy:Hey Everyone,

Myself and a few cigarettes 32+ft will be leaving Between the Bridges Marina (Old Saybrook, CT) @ 930am (tentative) on Saturday morning to run over to Block. The plan is to anchor or find a spot in New Harbor and raft and stay for the evening fireworks and leave Sunday morning. We will also be heading to the beaches and old harbor, yellow kitten, ballards, the usual good nightlife spots.

There is a launch available in New Harbor, and I have plenty of rigging to anchor. If anyone is interested in rafting or coming over for the run, let me know. I want to make sure everyone has adequate time to prepare rigging, fenders, lines and anchors so it's easier to keep everything in check.

I will be mooring with 2 fortress aluminum 5klb anchors which should keep me steady in the event we cannot find a spot at any of the marinas to raft (which is more than likely).

I figured more than just us have thought about this, but wanted to extend the invite to fellow OSOers.

Pretty much every other spot is going to be a mad house on Long Island so Block is the spot to be. Feel free to PM me or call my cell (203) 980.8807 to coordinate.

Good times, hope all have a fun and more importantly a safe weekend!:evilb:

All the info is on the first page :)

What a beautiful weekend to be on the Block. Awesome time!

Absolutely :D , I didn't see Knot-Right. I was in new harbor moored off champlains. On the end, surely someone must've seen me...

Kittens and Ballards were a blast...too bad noone met up to run..I ran over myself...had a great time..

Ended up getting a call Fri morn., dockmaster let me in at Ballards and stayed put all weekend. Nicks and Kittens was a rockin' no doubt!
Great weekend to be on Block

First time in over seven years I did not go.

Sorry I missed all of you.
Someone close to family passed away.

On the lighter side I still have 1400.00 in fuel to burn.

The water must have been like a mill pond going over.

Sorry for your loss Gerry.

Very sorry to hear Gerry..my condolences! I'm sure we can run over again sometime!
