Had a great day out on the Great South Bay, after renting a boat for a few hours in Babylon. Keith helped hubby set up our rental and he was very accommodating when we were unsure whether or not we'd even be able to take the boat out, driving all the way from Westchester. If the winds were above 15 knots, we would not have been able to go but we were able to wait until we knew for sure, before having to make the almost 90-minute drive to the island. There was an overcast and it was chilly when we first arrived. When we got to the marina, Keith met us on the dock by the boat, gave hubby a little rundown of the features and sent us on our way. We drove out for some time and just hung out while we watched the skies part and make way for sun. The water was a bit bumpy and after having some lunch, we were all ready to head back. The boat was kept in a pretty tight slip; it was hubby's first time driving. After two attempts at trying to make it into the slip, we called Keith to come out and give us a hand and he was able to hop aboard from the dock of a slip with better access, and then park us safely. This is definitely something we'll likely do on a regular basis, making it a family outing every summer. The boat was clean, had a fish finder, GPS and radio so it was easy for a first timer to get the hang of and enjoy taking out. read more
