I kept thinking about your comment for a few days and how to reply with out sounding like a DB....... I know I will screw it up but, I will give it a try... I think why Kelleys has the most go fast boats to me is because its all about boating. The history of the Casino (Jaws) and the location of the harbor is just the underlying reason. To me why I think most go fast boats go there is due to the entertainment. Its not the bands and bars full of bachelor/bachelorette parties but its the boaters itself... Its the place were you hang with your friends you only see in the summer. Its the place were you meet other go fast junkies. Its were you can shoot the sh*t with each other and lye about who is faster. Its very similar to OSO but its in real time. To me the best part is drive bys. Gotta love the seeing the boats roll in hammer down before turning into the harbor. I love the bay but, you just dont get that experience while sitting in a hotel urinal bowl pool.

Kelly's is in canada. Do you need to check in with Canada? That is why I've never gone there. I want to do an overnighter at Cedar Point sometime soon. Their marina facilities are top class with two restaurants and boaters get into the park an hour before gates open!

Kelley's is not in Canada to start so no problem there. also I dock at cedar point and am there every weekend form April to end of October so if u make it let me know first before checking in I might be able to get u a free slip for the night and cheep tickets and u will still be able to get in early.

You are right! I was thinking of Pelee Island. I will check out Kelly's next summer for sure.

Middle is the closest Canadian Island. Nothing on it but bird poop. I stay on Pelee most of the summer, I68 or Nexus for customs is a must. Beaches on Pelee are great!

too many people at PIB, no respect.... for me Kelleys works, PIB a few times..I also like the bigger offshore crowd at KI, we all know each other and at any given moment we jump in a half dozen boats go somewhere for the afternoon and back to KI, hard to do at PIB... The Casino offers enough and the few other bars, kinda home sweet home kinda place...t for us, maybe because we enjoy PIB so much its hard to compare anything to it. I get that KI is more laid back but just doesn't seem like as much to do there. I do enjoy the casino once a year besides the fact we didn't go at all this year.

Oh one other thing, can you find any bigger sun glasses
