I was out on my Doo again last night. Pretty much had the water all to myself, it was awesome. Jumped the biggest wave I’ve ever jumped, prob. was about 8-10 feet in the air…landed it too…machine still running great…
Went out saturday afternoon. Water was glass. Cruised down to hamburg beach and then down to canal side to see the duck. Very very busy down there and tons of chop. Going 10mph inside the wall sucks.
Anyone know when they plan on pulling the docks at gallagher beach? They took them out last year the day after labor day. I can’t help but feel that the riding season may go well past that this year.
The reason they pulled them early last year was due to park renovations (which the signs from last year are still up for some reason), I’d imagine they will be in through to the end of September this year…no reason they should pull them before October in my opinion…either way, it doesn’t matter to me, I don’t even use the docks there when I launch…
On topic, I am planning on going out tomorrow at Gallagher around 6…
The people in line at 9am to get their moving trucks and go do a horribly sweaty move when it was already pushing 80 and humid as hell looked pretty jealous when the Uhaul guy asked me where I was moving and I told him I just needed the truck to put my boat in the water for the day. :lol:
$51 for the day. $9 of that was the insurance, which I probably didn’t need, but last minute I started thinking about the parking brake failing and the truck ending up sunk in the river. Amex and Progressive’s rental coverage do not cover rental trucks. That includes mileage from the Kenmore store (Sheridan near 190) back to my house in Williamsville, over to the Isle View launch, back to my house, then back to uhaul.

The Loop has always been part of my retirement plans. You’ve definitely got the boat for it now.
My wife and I have been talking about getting a houseboat or some other sort of live aboard somewhere warmer for the winter months, then live at the cottage for the summer. I sent her that link yesterday, and now she’s spec’ing out trawlers. I think she’s already planned the first 2 years of post retirement trips.
Yeah, we’ve been planning the live aboard boat thing for a while. This seems like a better option for the first couple of years rather than just keeping it at a marina.
Let me know if you’re going to head out. We have a wedding on the 24th, but we’ll probably be out there every other weekend.
You may need to anchor though. Not sure the dock is long enough to accommodate your ship. I have a utility boat to use as a tender.
Yeah, and depth there where you are may be a bit questionable right now. New joint drafts about 3.5’. I’m also on a mostly passive search for a tender, but if the right one comes along, I’ll snag it.
