**party of 5** · 07-21-2012, 07:56 AM

" party of 5 ", wife ( boat owner lol ) and 3 daughters, is heading to montauk on july 26

. been waiting all year the wife had back surgery, but she is doing better and the dr gave us the ok to go. weather permitting and how the wife holds up this is the plan:

day 1 thursday montauk yacht club

day 2&3 marthas vineyard oak bluffs marina

day4&5 nantucket boat basin

day 6&7 newport harbor hotel and marina

day 8&9 block island champlins

day 10 weather or (block island)

day 11 home

sounds like alot, but while we're there we want to see as much as we can. went to block last year, but the other places are new to us. any comments good or bad would be greatly appreciated. more importantly, if you see party of 5 at any one of these places be sure to stop by for a drink! the bad news i don't drink anymore... the good news i don't drink any less

will post pics along the way.

Sounds like a well planned trip, have fun and be safe. Make sure you take some spare parts along for the ride, i.e. impellers for engines and generator, serpentine belt(s), tools, fluids / oil...

Seems like a good itinerary. However, you may want to check on Oak Bluffs. They tend to back you into a slip that has a ladder on a bulkhead that you have to climb up (like 10 feet). Dogs and recent back surgery may be an issue.

we stayed over one night there for the party bar scene. had a great time right up until a 100' ferry was blowing the horn for me to move at 6am next morning. yeah, they put me on the ferry dock and said not to worry- no boats coming in tomorrow. i had just come in from the bars a few hours earlier. not fun getting woke up, still drunk, hangover starting, seeing double. i told the guy i'm not moving. physically and mentally unable. his boys carefully pulled my lines and the boat over a little and we made room. nearly puked on him. later that day, i ran into the manager that put me there. long story short, "sorry" and 2 free nights. thats back when i had my 230 weekender. it looked like everyones dinghy in that area
