Any boaters, skiers, tubers, anglers in the NJ/NY/PA area

[tiggr33]

My other half (Padalyn) will be putting her boat (Gyrl's Pride) in the water after we get back from vacation. We were just wondering in anyone is in the NJ/NY/PA area? We'd love to get together with others on a lake. We normally put in at Greenwood Lake. But we have also put in in Haverstraw on the Hudson(rough), Lake Hopatcong(word is will be nasty this year), Lake Wallenwallpack (sp?)(nice but a long drive). She has a 115 on the boat, so we can't put in any of the smaller lakes with a HP limit. We also have camped an put in at Kueka Lake, and Indian Lake in NY.

So boating fans, lets get a thread going. Where do you put in, what type of boat.............

Gosh, I wish. Thirty years ago I used to water ski (that would be when I lived in Fla) - does that count???

 

[tiggr33]

Sure it counts. Many days we simple end up swimming.

I've tried water skiing, wakebording - I'm just not in the physical shape I should be in for that! I';m very good at relaxing on the water with cocktails though! I could always bartend!

Where in North Jersey are you???

Tony, I am not far from you. I'm 2/3 towns west of you, and I am very familiar with Bloomfield, what section are you in? (I'll PM you the town I live in). My other half is in the Paramus area.

Sorry but you'd have to bartend from land. The only real rule we have on the boat is no drinking onboard it. And no drinking atall for Cayla or I when the boat is in the water (we trailer it, we don't use a seasonal slip). We do dock at marina bars to eat, but we won't drink. With Cayla's job and what she's seen, and our knowledge of how congested lakes are, and the fact boat accidents are horrific, and that boat penalties carry over to your DL, it's not a risk we want to take.

to no drinking / driving! We have friends with boats that are usually docked down the shore. It's much safer that way. We are on the North end of Bloomfield, not far from the Nevada Diner.

I work right near Paramus too.

I've been to the Neveda many times. I have family off Broughton Ave. If you take Claremont Ave all the way up the hill, you'll be in my town. (sorry evasive, I don't publish my town)

So you work in the Paramus area....My GF lives around the corner from Feathers.

 

[Tony-NJ]

LOL I work around the corner from Feathers. Actually my building(s) are in back of Feathers. Just gave that away! I don't live far from Broughton. Your not too far at all from us.


Geez - Feathers! It's been YEARS!

I would love to get a group together to go upto the Haverstraw park area on the Hudson - the slip is really nice there is enough space on the water to get some tubing in, the park is really nice.

Maybe in early July? or late June....once I get Gryl's Pride up here from the dealer I will have a better idea of when I can get her in the water!!
