Ct mini

The weather looks great for tomorrow! 87 with mostly sunny skies.

A few things to note;
Mooring on the sandbar - People usually use 2 lengths of 1" PVC pipes pushed into the sand. One off of the stern, one off of the bow and moor bow out. Make sure you bring something to keep your boat in place.

If you get there before I do, there are a couple places to be wary of;
- Going right, upriver towards the sandbar, it's shallow at the bend to the right(facing the water) of the ramp.
- Under the I-84 bridge, pass between the center of the bridge supports, at the outer supports it's shallow.
- The sandbar is marked with buoys, even still approach with caution. It's sandy so little damage will occur unless you come in hot.
- If you don't know the lake, the center is the safest spot.

Food;
Like I have said before, the sandbar is shallow enough to set up a grill. If you didn't want to bring food, there is a pizza place that will deliver to the ramp.

I'll have my phone with me (Two O Three)Nine One O - Three One One One
Call if you need anything.

Excellent! I'll be the one with a ski nautique.

I have a boom and I'm sure there will be others. Planning on getting there pretty early, dropping stuff off on the sandbar and skiing and maybe footing before the masses decide to muck up the lake.

well i have a bachelor party or ct mini mini, haha. trust me i'de rather be on the boat for the day, the party plans are not concrete so i'm still keeping it on the burner.
if not i'm going to shoot for october badin lake

That's too bad Tony, this was shaping up to be a good one.

Now if the weather forecasters would make up their minds...

Doesn't look like its going to happen for me this weekend. The BFN will be sitting on the trailer ready to go if plans change but its not looking like it will happen for me at this point.
-Tony

Still trying to coordinate travel plans with our crew, but would like to hit the water early and either hit the course or do some footing. Shooting for 8am? Still working out the logistics... Will txt you when I get it nailed down!

Tim, here's the address;

300 Scout Road
Southbury

What time are you going to be there?

The ramp questions have been answered.

Tim, the course is upriver going right out of the ramp same direction as the sandbar Its about 1 mile up on the left

I was planning on being on the water at 9:00 but if you're coming earlier I will too.

Hey Andy Thanks for the contact info. The ramp is pretty nice. There are lots of parking spots and an overflow lot. Weekends are usually pretty busy

sorry no arrow on the first photo

Art, I'd start collecting cell phone numbers! No ones gonna be monitoring this thread at the sand bar.

We're planning on coming for the day on Sat. Not sure how many boats/people will make the trip with us- somewhere between 1-4 boats and 2-10 people I imagine.

Mark, how early will you be out there? Which end of the lake is the course on?

I plan on being there until dark. I'm sure someone can pick you up. It's also not that far a swim.   

Excellent!

Of Course

It's not that far of a drive, I'll be there.
