    We'll be there this weekend, I usually dock on C-Dock. Make sure to get there early, they have all of A-Dock & 1/2 of C-Dock reserved for the ILYA Sailboat Regatta. It's going to fill up fast this weekend, especially with the nice weather forecast this weekend

    I'd love to make a trip up there! I have a friend that has a camper by one of the ferry boats' loading area. I'd like to trailer up and put in and boat over. Always heard about the party there.

    We tried to go to PIB, got to Ballast Island buoys about 12:30 on Friday, radioed in, C-Dock, B-Dock, was already full. Didn't try any of the others, figured they would be full too. Turned around & went to Kelleys for the weekend. We had a couple with that had never been. We ended up staying at Portside Marina. Fun was had by everyone. Talking with the dock hands, said that this was the busiest boat traffic weekend they had this year. Weather was perfect.

    We left PIB around noon on Friday and it was packed, boats lining up to get in to public docks, usually doesn’t get bad until Friday evening but everyone got up early

    Man, we had a great weekend, but it wasnt exactly as planned. Got to the fuel dock at The Boardwalk at 11am on the dot, pretty close to when I wanted to be there. Listened to the radio and heard a half dozen requests denied for all three public docks. Made a decision to check out the small state park around the corner, as its first-come first serve, and usually not filled up. Luckily it was not full, and we got the very end spot, so we had some privacy and a nice view.

    The negative was that we were almost a mile outside downtown, and no electric service. No biggie though, I come prepared. I had my propane grill on board for making breakfast & lunch as desired, and with the $$ saved on docking I kept our reserved golf cart through Sunday afternoon when we left. The only thing I was worried about was sleeping at night with no power for the large fan I brought. Luckily there were NO bugs, and a nice steady breeze from the stern, so we "slept" in comfort and no issues at all. :):)  A healthy buzz also helps you fall asleep, or so I'm told.

    Overall it was one of the most fun weekends I've ever had there. The bars and pools were packed, but everyone was extremely fun, and we made a ton of friends (more the GF than me, lets be honest LOL)

    The ride to & from wasnt dead calm, but wasnt crazy bumpy either. I burned 34 gallons down, and 36 gallons home, for an average of just under 2.5 miles per gallon. I definitely spent more $$ on 80 proof alcohol than 10% alcohol gasoline. :D

    Couldn't help but get a top speed run with VVM running. Not bad for canvas up, full tanks, 3 coolers, and a bunch of gear on board. Just a little underpowered 350 MAG.  :p


    Left it like this the whole cruise. Right at 4k rpm and trimmed out perfectly.

    Great pictures Joe!  Looks like a good time!  Last time I was at PIB was about 25 years ago (man do I feel old!).  Looks like a great breakfast!

    Oh, and your top speed is the same as mine! :)  (just a bit different fuel burn)

    Yeah I'm sure alot has changed in 25 years. Breakfast was great, and so were the mimosas! Lol

    Yea our speeds may be the same, but you dont bounce in the chop like mine does either! I dont mind my gas burn, the thought of 1mpg makes my wallet cringe. Lol

    Actually, the thought of 1mpg would be fantastic!  I'm more around 0.7-0.8 mpg.  & yes, the ride is definitely smoother.

    That just made me puke in my mouth a little bit! LOL

    Maybe one day I'll be able to stomach that, but that would really limit my boating. I put on over 100 hours last summer, and this year it'll be ~ 75, so thats alot of coin at $4.29/gallon.

    Yeah, that's always my backup plan. Really didn't want to use the mooring balls for convenience and it cuts off time on land. Very happy with how it turned out.
