Marina/Ramp: Currently mostly out of Jamestown but spend a lot of time at the other Marinas.

Pre2012-Conley Bottom Mostly, Waitsboro, Alligator I&II ramps, Leesford, Pulaski County Park (when it has water), Grider, State Dock (via boat), and Jamestown are a few places you might find me.

Thanks for the GREEAAT pics Islander!

I think EVERY buildig built from here on out should HAVE to have a built in parking garage to cover the use of every store/office/suite/apartment it contains.

Sooo, what were you on or did you take your boat?
Buy American, the job you save just might be your own.

I rode with some friends from Oswego, IL on their Crownline 230 as I had to fly there from Charlotte and then fly back to Charlotte... Work sucks! On our boat we had me from KY, Randy from Oswego, Chantele and Tiffany from Des Moines, IA and Bent and Brenda from Wabasha, MN. It was a great time...

You got some really good pics Islander! Lake Michigan always intimidated me.... we lived in Racine WI for 11 years (near the lake between Chicago & Milwaukee), and I have witnessed 10 ft swells come up out of nowhere... we used to fish off of the pier/boulders all of the time and it can get nasty in a heartbeat. Went "out" on the lake 1 time for fishing, that did me in.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day ;)
