When Mrs. Horne and I were at the Maritimo Migration in Newport last September, a number of the attendees expressed interest in having an informal event in early August.

I know August is still a long way off, but several popular marinas are already sold out for most weekends, so it’s not too early to book!
We try to visit Long Island every summer around that time and recently I booked some dockage with a possible rendezvous in mind.
Mitchell Park, Greenport LI – August 3-5
We visited Greenport in 2021. Mitchell Park is a city marina with plenty of room for a Flotilla. It’s also a great value for a Long Island Village Marina in the summer.
The midweek price for our M60 is $195 and the weekend rate is $325 for the first week in August.


Greenport offers a great little village a few steps from Mitchell Park, and it’s authentic Merry Go Round.










If you are interested in a rendezvous, let me know, and we can coordinate slip locations. By the way, not only would we love to see fellow Maritimo owners here, but others as well – Sabre, Back Cove, or anyone else (we’re an equal opportunity flotilla.)
If you are interested in meeting up before or after, we’re traveling through Newport/Jamestown (7/31), Watch Hill (8/1), and Sag Harbor (8/2) before arriving and stopping at Block Island (8/6), on the way home.
Would have loved to do this and get to know you. (We’re Mashnee residents, with Kingman as home base for a Beneteau Antares 11).
Unfortunately, we have a wedding obligation that weekend.
I’ll look whether some of those other dates might work.

I’m going to do another post about other popular rendezvous’ we do. The first is the week before fathers Day at Nantucket Boat Basin. Dockage is around $2/ foot.

It’s a bit of a “well known secret.” Here’s a story I did four years ago. Search the site for “Nantucket” and you’ll find a dozen more!
