Log onto our website www.friendsofwatchhill.org and click on Credit Card Payments to pay for the adults and children in your group who will attend the Columbus Day Buffet Dinner Gathering or the After Dinner Party. You will have to log out after paying for the adults and log back in to pay for children i.e., one transaction at a time. Then email friendsofwatchhill at yahoo.com with your boat name, length and beam and 120/240 Volt requirements. FOWH will then pre-reserve a boat slip for members who pay for attendance at either the buffet dinner gathering or after dinner party. Advance reservations may not be made for Friday or Saturday only. This is a two-night advance reservation. Slips not taken by midnight Friday will be released for assignment to other boaters. Payment for this event cannot be taken at the door. FOWH is taking payments by credit card on our website now through October 2nd. For credit cards to process properly you must log onto the website using www.friendsofwatchhill.org. You will receive an error page if you do not log on with three w's.
Please note attendance at these functions and advance group boat slip reservations are for members only. If you would like to make an advance reservation for your boat, you will have to renew your membership if you haven't already done so or enroll as a new member now. As mentioned above, for your credit card to process, you must log on using www.friendsofwatchhill.org. Also, after renewing or enrolling you will have to log out and then log back in again to pay for the event.

Special Late Night Ferry (11 PM on Saturday)
If you don't have boat transportation, take the scheduled ferry from Patchogue to Watch Hill and take advantage of the 11 PM Special Ferry from Watch Hill back to Patchogue
For planning purposes, it would be helpful to know how many guests plan to use the special ferry. Please take a minute to email us friendsofwatchhill at yahoo.com if you are going to use the 11 PM ferry.

Work ? But Dave, it is Yom Kippur ;-)
 
Bought my dinner tickets and sent Pam an email for a slip. Worst case we'll take the ferry out and back.

Done. Got my slip assignment.

Two guys are interested in my boat. Both have a smaller trade so I'll either be there on Perfect Timing or another boat or the ferry.

Now I need a shoaling report...Rob?
