rOnDAYvous 2015???
Just to get the discussions started, I'll throw a few possible venues out there, in no particular order..
1. Strongs Marina in Mattituck, NY. Entrance from LI Sound, North Fork. Lots of room, price on high side. very clean and updated. Small village of Mattituck within walking distance, as is LI Ralroad station. federal anchorage just off the marina as well. Beautiful, well protected place.
2. Half Moon Bay Marina in Croton-On-Hudson, NY. About 30nm north of the south tip of Manhattan, up the Hudson, just north of the Tappen Zee. Looks great (as per ActiveCaptain.com website). I myself would love a foray up the Hudson, as I've never been.. Less $$ than Strongs. Looks like it would fit the bill as well regarding services, nearby stores/bars/restaurants, etc.
3. Brewer Pilots Point Marina, Westbrook, CT. Up behind Duck Island Roads. Also very highly regarded by the ActiveCaptain crew. Looks like lots of slips.
So, any thoughts? I'll sit back and let the real planners go, just thought I'd get the ball rolling. This way we can at least visualize the warm weather and fair winds ahead!!
