Wrong! This is a steal. He's trying to throw us off. Last yr I came to a marina on Long Island that was doing a complete make over on a 31. He knew we both had 31's( me and another one of the faithful whose name skipps my mind) and the operator asked how much do you think I paid. Well a loaded quest...

Account Management and then some
Last night's cocktail hour got a little out of whack. I was telling Maureen who just happens to be the title owner of the Irish Wake, about the up coming trips this season.

Taking a straight shot from SC to the Shinnecock Inlet is by far the shortest way. Be aware that you must transverse the Shinnecock canal and the current can get to seven kts. That's if you don't want to go around Montauk Pt. Going thru the Canal, the boats get in single file because it's tight. Goi...
