Yes, I am hoping for a good turnout (esp if I cut my trip short).
I hope the time\location can be worked out soon. Would the "stony point dike" aka the spit be a good spot? rkc

RKC,
Like MJ I have cruised past there many times but never stopped. The spit is over two miles long, is there a particular spot? I've haven't noticed groups of boats hitting any one spot but I don't go around the back side much either. For those not familiar here is an image of the area:  If you have a good spot I trust your judgement. I know there is no access except by boat so if there is a beach it should be a good spot. Another option is Basset's island shown on the map accross the bay from the spit. There is a long narrow piece of land there with beaches on both sides. The inside is good if you want less win, waves and boat wakes. As you can see it has some VERRRRRY nice scenery:  Here is a pic of the outer side, notice more wind and chop. It is outside of no wake zone:  Here is a pic looking right down the middle:  Usually folks don't beach their boats but you can anchor close enough to walk ashore. For some reason shortly after this photo was taken all the "scenery" packed up and left. Go figure?

Ya, if I can make it anytime the 25th is the best time available for me. Still unsure with the moving and unpacking etc. Can't make a firm commitment yet, but I think I should be able to go.

There can be issues with the spit, such as:
Could be rough if the wind is SE. There's usually a decent current. Boats can get stuck the sandbar that runs along side of it on an outgoing tide. (High tide is 4pm or so, so that should be OK). Not much "scenery". There is a good beach on most of it (canal side), except for the end which is all rocks. I believe there is also beach on the other side, never really checked it out well there. The only time I saw it crowded was when the tall ships went through. I was just thinking is we have a few boats, it may be difficult to snag a lot room at some of the other places. But I am open! rkc

and actually, perhaps its not a good spot to "raft up", because even on a calm day there are some pretty big wakes from ships\boats going by.
next?
