Hey Guys,
Saturday is never as busy as Sunday at Claudio's and they don't even open until 11:30 or 12:00. Should not be a big problem with dockage. There is also a long town/state pier right next door between the ferry and the clam bar.
I have been to 3 poker runs that have passed through Claudio's, you have picked the perfect spot. The people at Claudio's are vary accommodating and know how to handle an event like this.
Also, if anyone decides to stay for the night, Greenport has a lot to offer.
You can stay right at Claudio's, the town dock, or in Cockle's harbor in the middle of Shelter Island.
You fellows have me all fired up!!!

Timing: So if we assume a little bit before 12 noon arrival at Claudio's, we should leave a bit after 11 from the North side of Shinnecock Canal. I don't know how much transit time to allow for canal & lock, it can be straight through or a wait, depending on whether the lock is locking or not, and on how much traffic there is. Vinnie should know, he's right there. Let's call it 30 minutes. Add to that whatever time it takes for the Southern Contingent to arrive from Greater Babylon, and that's your departure time.
Low tide for Shinnecock will be 9:35 AM.
Low tide for Moriches Bay will be 12:56 PM.
So the going will be a bit tricky through Shinnecock Bay, easy when going back home.
I'll pick you guys up somewhere along the way from Babylon and guide you through Shinnecock. Bay has been dredged last Winter, I haven't tried it yet, been away all of May. Will investigate next week.

Hey Peconic,
Do you remember what time we left tripps and zz last Summer?
I think about 9-9:30, then we fueled up.
Anyway, we were at Claudio's, docked up, waiting for them to open.
We would have been there earlier if we had not run aground...
I would guesstimate 2, 2-1/2 hours from Babylon.

I agree with 2.5 hrs. But we need to leave a little more time in that for slowing down to group up.
I see the Babylon boys (me, tripps, DragonFire Baja boys, Huslter etc) starting out at 8:00 - Call it Point 1
Meet the Patchougue boys (Fastfountain and friends) maybe at the Patchouge River-arive 8:30 or Bellport Bay-arive 8:45 or where ever - time TBD. Call it Point 2
On to Shinnecock meet at Mariners Cove arive 9:45 - leave 10:00 for Point 3
Through the locks into the Peconic where we re-group maybe meet more people leave 10:30 or so call it point 4
Hit Claudio's 11 - 11:30...
I really think for rafting purposes (given reduced dock space) and as Bill Claudio said getting there at 11 - 11:30 is best.
What about the Northern Fleet? So far only Gferdon has chimed in and truth is he could join anywhere along the Southern route.
Is there a Northern Fleet??????????????
Where are you????
You guys do boat up there...
What happened to all the CT guys??

I was thinking the same thing with regard to the Northern participants...anyone home? If so, we could essentially do the same thing. Western sound guys would start out at a time to be deternined and meet any folks (like me) at points east...most likely Port Jeff for me and whoever else might be interested from this area. It all remains to be seen. If we do not have any interested parties from this area, I would most likely join the Southshore guys at Blue Point or Heckshire. Let's hear from you western LI sound people so we can develop a plan. Good weekend to all.
