Well looking at the tides its Barnstable Harbor, but if not doable cause of wind or something, Bassets if we can go there any tide?? MB you know that better so is it a any tide?
Figure if weather is good we could launch from Tempest or Sandwich and give a tour of canal and go to Barnstable. If wind is not right for that area we could go to Basset.
As far as food, simple is best but MB you can do as you see fit, I am sure no one will complain!!When I bought my boat it came with a grill, but I have never used it, and will need a mount for the rod holder for it I could dig that out if need be??

So lets see who is in for sure?? MB, CB, me and ??

What about the rest of you guys?? I have room in my yard for a few boats if someone needs to park some place? I have room in my boat and CB said he will bring his if need be, so if you don't want to tow we can still get out!

I am definitely IN.

Bassett's has shelter if we need it and you can acccess the beach there in any conditions. The sand is a narrow strip at high tide and much of the island is poison ivy but it is well protected.

The canal ride sounds good to me though.

I am bringing my gas grill no matter what but if it looks like real good weather I'll bring a burner and some lobtser or steamers to share.

If you plan on staying a bit look for some place in Bourne maybe. They have several good beaches and ramps and if you are staying in the town you can get a temp beach/ramp sticker and be just like the locals.

The New Market Basket here is selling Lobsters for $3.99 a pound. right now, was the same last week also!

Holy Crap!

If they are that cheep I might even buy one for you MJ!

Too late - I already invited a big crew from Wisconsin - they have a V group up there.
They call themselves the " V Boaters of Darkness " and they all painted their boats BLACK.
A V boat hull will get burned on the beach as an offering to the Sultan of Squalls.

Should be fun - glad you'll be there Macojoe..............along with your blinking eye ball.

Damn....not the V boaters of dartkness again... <sigh> Last time they were here they ate all the lobsters, drank all the beer and ......well, it wasn't a pretty sight, let me tell you...

My best suggestion for you is - get there early, hide some provisions in your cuddy and enjoy the festivities. The burning of the V boat isn't something you want to miss.
Besides the black V boats, you'll be able to pick em' out of the crowd - the wives all wear thong bikini's, the men are covered in tat's and bald..........and their kids will be running around with mohawk haircuts.

Oh yeh, one more thing - their V boats are all overpowered - 300's and such...... If conditions are right............. you can join them in a nice round of demolishion boat derby on the bay.

MJ I had said previously I could be there but there is something a foot in which I may not have FishBones much longer so I think it would be a negative on my getting there.
More details to come when it is nailed down.

I know your issue, but I hope you can make it anyway!! Good luck with the other stuff!!
