For our 5th wedding anniversary which coincides with 4th of July
weekend, my wife and I are taking a cruise on the waverunner from
Flanders Bay in Riverhead, through the Peconic Bay and over to Block
Island for a four-day stay. *I have ridden there on the pwc many times
but only been at the two harbors to hang it for a couple hours before
riding back, never stayed over and got a chance to explore the whole
island

We've been going to Block since the early 70s and its always been one
of our favorite cruising destinations. *Where do you dock the PWC, and
where are you staying? *I assume you carry a VHF radio and GPS?

Of course (gps is mounted on my handlebars), as well as all the other
safety equipment and precautions any other sensible boater would take.

For our little trip we are staying at Harborside Inn in the historic
district near Old Harbor. A dockmaster at Payne's in New Harbor told
me he would be able to find a spot to tie up the waverunner for those
three nights no problem. So I'm thinking on the day of arrival I will
head toward Old Harbor, beach the 'ski for a couple hours (anchored of
course) and check into our hotel and drop off our bags, hang out in
that area (beach, town) for most of the afternoon, then ride back
around to New Harbor to tie up and then we'll enjoy a nice walk back
to Old Harbor, I think it's only about a mile. Of course I'll call
the dock guy the day before and confirm with him that he'll still find
me a space on the docks.

Thanks for replying!
