Hello, Ten minutes across town to get to the slip. We have at least four ramps here that all are on the same brackish water river (the Hackensack in NJ) Two are free state/city ramps. The other belong to marinas. I'm launching one way or the other! :D

Hey<br /><br />I'm about 15 minutes from the Great South bay on Long Island. Once I am on the water if i want to go to the ocean its about a 40 minute boat ride -- but the fishing in the bay is usually very good-- and the family fun is excellent in the bay as well <br /><br />See Ya<br />COOL IT !!!!

We live on the water, the boat is in the slip under the house. Drop it down and go. It takes about 10 minutes down the main canal to get out on the bay.

540 Miles. I live in West Virginia, about 70 miles south of Pittsburgh, but boat from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I go down about once ever 3 weeks from May until November or December, taking a long weekend (4 or 5 days) with each trip, plus a week in the spring and a week in the fall. Been doing it that way for about 13 years. I used to go down more often but the driveing is getting to me these days.<br /><br />Thom

I live 3 blocks uphill from the river, am ten minutes from my marina slip - just grab the keys and go. My biggest hindrance is finding a place to park the car! :D
