I will definitely try and make it out to see you!If you're still at Pequannock on Aug. 18, maybe we can grab a beer. That's where we'll be docking for the night on our trip back from Block. (Even made a reservation at Shell and Bones.)
Our commute to Liberty Landing Marina can be as quick as 25 minutes, or as long as an hour. Generally it takes me a half hour. As with everything in the NY/NJ area, all depends on the traffic, construction work, and time of day. We chose that marina because it was close. Other marinas we looked at were further south in NJ, and the last thing I EVER want to do on a weekend is travel south on the Garden State Parkway. Might as well be called the Garden State Parking Lot on summer weekends.
I feel your pain!I trailer about 60 miles to the launch ramp, then it’s about 1.5 hours of setup. After a full weekend I’m pretty tired but the wife and kids love it so it makes it worthwhile. I’m about #170 on a waiting list for a dry dock. I’ll probably have bought a new boat by the time I get a spot : )
We have a winner! Wow, I am totally impressed with your dedication. May there always be wind upon arrival and no ground or air traffic!For now we spend a little more time than normal to get to Quincy moored in Seattle. We live in the thriving metropolis of Victor, Idaho on the eastern border with Wyoming. It’s a 12 hour drive or a 1.5ish hour flight. Luckily we are still racking up ff miles at work. We usually drive if we’re going to be out for more than a week, fly if less. There‘s a great guy across the dock from us named Alex who has been really helpful keeping an eye out for us, plus a long time local boat mechanic Ken who has been really helpful as well. Plan to spend more time on board once I back off the full time job in September.
