Yup..... the whole key is getting lots of use.
The ramps are crappy up here... even the good ones don't have a floating
dock close enough that a solo sailor can walk the boat off a trailer with
fore & aft lines.
This whole coastal region is geared to keel boats at yacht & boat clubs.
I'm gonna take a serious look at some of the aluminum boats during our boat
show in February... & our Outdoor Show the month before.
To get the wife on I'll need to make that modest open boat look a bit like a
speedboat.--

Docks? We don't need no stinkin' docks! Only Mashapaug has a dock, the
rest you have to tie to whatever or just pull it up on the sand. Most
of the launches however are pretty decent, cement, room to move, etc.
With my boat it doesn't really matter though, 3/4" ply bottom, with
2x6 skids. Some of the Islands and pull-in's I do with mine, I would
probably not want to do with an aluminum, or even plastic. I just park
mine on the rocks or tie it to the bank and let it bang around. :-)
