Bump :D

I've sprung it on the wife, and will probably go out Saturday, fish most of the night, hang out for the cookout, and come back Sun PM. MIGHT be able to get the Jeep from her too :hee: I'm looking to surfcast the shore....

Duke, did you get anywhere with the house? If not, I'd probably just rough it anyways, or maybe go the cheapo boarding house route (don't plan to spend much time inside)

Duke,
Did the rates Champlins quoted you include a slip, or mooring?

Called for some rates:

Paynes Dock: $2.00 per foot, per night $45.00 min rate, shouldn't be any problem with avail. space. (401) 466-5572

Paynes suggested the Narr. Inn Hotel very close to docks, Price is $130.00 per night, bare room just bed and shower.. (401) 466-2626.

-------------------------------------------------

Champlins Marina: $3.00 per foot, per night, shouldn't be a problem with avail space. (401) 466-2626, Rooms: king size bed waterview $132.50 per night, other rooms avail.

Seems like Champlins is the better equipped marina, but a bit more expensive....!!!

Alright, I typically don't have a ton to share on this board but in this case may be able to give something back - one of the places I stay while on the island is a guest house called The Driftwind Inn which is on High Street very close to Old Harbor. Not very publicized and like to keep low key but will share with you all. Place is run by an older woman named Claire, I think she has four bedrooms, some with singles, some with doubles, so could probably squeeze some extras in - it is a shared bath. Rate is $60 cash per evening/per room, no tax. Two night minimum in season but later in September she's likely to be flexible. Don't have her number with me but she is listed.

Hope this helps, good luck in the tourney.

Is any one going that wants a rider???
 

Is any one going to do this by boat, that wants a rider???
Pay my own way, and do it your way..
whatever...PM

I could be talked into sharing a room......I take it this will be more hoofing than Cutty?

Is anybody still planning on going out this weekend? :confused:

I probably will not be spending the night out there, but I may still fish the tourny.

Sorry for pumping this thing up and then fading out of the picture. I have to do 4 make up charters this weekend and can not get out to the tourney. I will be fishing the Fountain and Brenton's Reef this weekend both days all day.
