I will go to Block for the day and between fuel dock eating and drink all day it is close to the same cost. (friends on the boat always pick up tabs for food and docking which makes it easier) but it is an all day event. We usally leave around 10-10:30 and come back to Saybrook around 9:00. During that trip we have a great run then sometimes we sit out by Fishers and have a drink then we run in and grab lunch go over to Ballards and listen to music and watch all the retards then we head over to the National and sit out on the deck have another drink maybe something to eat then head back to the boat and then we usally will stop on the way home go for a swim then come back to the Back Porch for a burger and then head home.
Actually, lets make it an overnight and do it near the end of August so the water is warmer and the night time temps are cooler... Seriously, lets do this! I've been meaning to start a thread in the CPBA section anyway...

ehhh...i find it hard to beleive that a one day event in CT can be as good as spending time in the bahamas for 7 days in an all inclusive resort or cruise. just my 0.02.
I also think the $$ amounts are a little high but if you win once in a life time deal!I entered about 8-10 always great time&people

The fact of the matter here is thetes alot more cost than just an entrance fee!
Theres what appears to be a cheaper option and people arent seeing the value because its a run they can any day.
So Billy is in kind of a tough spot, he cant control the economy, the afded costs like fuel etc and the course is what it is at yhis point!
So all he could do is cut the cost of the entrance fee but hes in a tight spot with that as well because the insurance costs etc are high
I feel bad for Billy its a tough position to be in, hes trying to do something good for the area and good for his club

Agreed but the economy has forced many businesses to change or get left behind. And I agree on the cruise comment it has be far and away my favorite vaction. Scot I am heading to Punta Cana when I get back we will take Block by storm. You guys all have a $1,000 to spend now

Another way to look at it is with the run being in your back yard, you save gas on towing to the run. From what I recall 400 is a lot less than it used to be! I remember runs being 6-800 for entry fees alone!
Then spending 4-500 on fuel to get there . My suggestion is to have some of you guys pool together and go on a buddies boat and split the costs. You'll save $ and have a lot more fun than sitting on the sidelines!
