I see lots of people on the docks of my marina getting ready to go
somewhere this time of year. The last month I have noticed a lot of
blue tape coming off boats and MOB poles, radar reflectors, and jerry-
jug boards going back on. So, where's everyone going?

I'm planning a trip over to Cruis'n Rulz! in my driveway to sluff the
rain water off the tarp...

Taking off for the Bahamas sometime in the next 7 days or so. Just
loaded up today with 1,000 gallons of fuel and 500 gallons of water.

The boats riding a little lower in the water tonight. :-)

If you mean conch chowder, we can get that right here. Excellent!

One of my first little excursions will be up the Potomac from National
Airport to see what has changed along the Washington DC waterfront. I know
there are some docks at Georgetown that are new, and there has been a lot
done along the Anacostia River. We'll probably do that next week, if the
weather is decent.

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, so we are looking forward to doing lots of hiking and
bicycling, maybe rent a couple mopeds and just check out the views and
beaches, maybe rent a kayak, and definitely do some snorkeling just
outside the old harbor jetty. The wife enjoys taking pics of
lighthouses from on the water onboard the waverunner so I'll be able
to ride her to see the two lighthouses on Block Island as well as
Montauk and maybe a side trip over to Judith Point. A pretty modest
vacation really, didn't think I'd be able to afford one at all this
summer but I'm using my "stimulus check" to fund it, sure I could
have used it to save or invest or pay down debts, but that would be
selfish, I'm much to concerned with the economy to do something like
that. Anyway can't wait!

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?
