Just measured it on Google maps, it's 200 yds from dock to dock! Haul off a good cast and have someone attach the can and reel away!!

What do you need fuel for while you are over there? Probably a well known thing/easy answer, but I can't figure it out

The fare, to buy gas that's priced 50 cents to $1 higher than on the mainland.

Swimmer,
Just so you know, I paid $4.89/gal at the E-town Mobil last weekend for 87. If you can fill em up here and tote them down, you'll be saving ~$1/gal. I was trying like hell not to leave Chappy for gas until my return trip on Sunday, but had to do it a day early.

Scott that is my idea and why I posted the query. Will be calling SSA today to find out. Even if I can't bring them on full. I should be able to bring them on empty.
