I probably wouldn't have come back if a friend had it been celebrating their birthday there. But this time the food was actually delicious. Granted I obviously got a different dish so maybe that pasta dish I got the first time just wasn't their best offering. But this time I got their sirloin steak, which was perfectly cooked. And we got a cheeseboard, which was also delicious. A few people in our party did say their food was lacking flavor. So I'm still gonna go with their food is inconsistent. But not as bad as I originally thought.

It went so far that for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary at the Fox Hollow Inn in Old Westbury, it was attended by Ranee. Herself coming from eastern Long Island, she did not have to do that. But having her there with my entire family (perhaps 100 people), including a couple that flew in from Grants Pass. It meant a lot. I'll never forget her being there for this. I like the marina, sequestered away in a quiet residential community. If you're looking for a secure marina for your vessel, this one should be considered.

Watching the fire island boats go in and out can be pretty cool. Nice place to BBQ which on the holidays I do BBQ within their BBQ area next to the water park. Parking for the summer you have to pay unless you have a recreation card. There is a restaurant located in the back of the Marina called Nick on the Bay. Great restaurant on the water. Overall love coming to this Marina to take my naps, have a picnic, take a walk most of all decompress . It can be a bit crowded down there from time to time, but overall it's a great place to go. Happy yelping.

Todays visit was to the Paddleboat Lauren Kristy for a 3 hour trip circling to Fire Isand and back. The Lauren Kristy with Captain Mike was docked waiting for passangers of a scheduled Senior Trip done through the Town of Oysterbay. How did the name of the boat come about, Captain Mike named it for his first 2 nieces, It's been up and running at least 15 years. It is a nice little boat that seats up to 120 people. Today's visit was of 98 people from 3 towns Massapequa, Syosset and Bethpage. Buses were available for travel access. rive direct, easy Southern State to exit 42 and then follow signs to Marina. Crew - Sean, Lisa, Kelly and Jackie/Jacqueline Barmaids and servers were all friendly, pleasant, and easy to talk with. (see pix) Lisa' s maiden voyage today and she charmingly aced it. Jackie worked on LI for a water filtering system company before working on the boat also enjoyable to speak with. Senior activity from TOB cost 83.00 per person - nonrefundable. It noted a Hot lunch buffet; but todays was a cold display of salad, breads, (fishy) tuna fish, ham slices, and grilled chicken breast. There were tables and chairs for people to sit and the buffet was served by crew members. Nothing of quality special to write home about here. There was coffee set up and dessert of processed brownies or fruit salad. Bottles of standard filtered water were a fee of $1.00, oddly the sink water or the bottled water did not taste clean. The bar had full number of items for mixed drinks and or wine for sale. Soda was included in the meal price. There was also a separate bar in an upstairs section as well. Trip was 11-2, with a bit of a tour guide review over the speaker. We saw what I believe was said was the Robert Moses bridge, went under and through it, Fire Island, the current Fire Island Light House, and 5 smaller islands that used to be one big one divided in 1620 from a big storm, along the way were views of Duck/Fishing houses that I am told were passed down from family members to family members and used forosleeping over in the season. (see pix) Seems the fishing in the area is currently striped bass. Got the terms of area for the boat, Bow, Stern, starboard and Port. The Stern has the paddle in the back. There are both men's and women's bathrooms on board and even a place to plug something in top side. Today's weather was overcast but no rain and while windy was nice outside on deck. A man quietly prophesized handing out you are special because God loves you flyers. While a quiet process, some, were not pleased as feeling it was inappropriate for him to hand out these small flyers. As for accessibility, there was a flat standard ramp which accommodated a wheelchair. There was a step to go over to enter of which a wheelchair needed to be lifted over. People with walkers were able to use them. Overall a nice little even to do to get outside and enjoy the Fall air.

In addition to the myriad of boats docked in the water, there are a ton of them parked and stored in the parking lot as well. If you are a boat buff or even a photography aficionado, you can spend hours there appreciating all of the different angles, shadows, shapes. As I walked down to the end of the dock, I received a number of hellos and friendly waves from folks boarding and deboarding their boats. For the last month I've been ignoring an itch to buy and restore an old watercraft and after this tour, it just got even more intense. I look forward to one day pulling up and paying to use their fuel station, which, according to a fellow Yelper, is pretty reasonably priced.

The fuel is reasonably priced and the sewage pump out - well you have to do that yourself, and if you are like my buddy who doesn't follow directions, the resulting Trevi Fountain of feces (and maybe hepatitis) is worthy of "World's funniest videos" if done incorrectly. It will take a bit of time to get into this fuel dock as it is located at the head of the harbor and there are some 250,000,000 boats moored in there - so make sure your captain knows how to drive his boat.... argghhhh Over and out
