Here it is: Northeast Ranger Tugs Rendezvous 2023, August 10-13, Milford, CT
When: Arrive any time after 1:00 PM on Thursday, August 10. Two days in port on Friday and Saturday. Depart before 12:00 PM on Sunday, August 13.
Where: Milford Lisman Landing Marina, 37 Helwig Street, Milford, CT 06040
Details: Look forward to three days of meeting and getting to know fellow Ranger Tug owners, sharing experiences and checking out each other’s boats. The factory is going to reach out to the dealers in the area for their involvement. I’m looking to see if we can maybe get a short seminar on a boating related subject. The factory will also provide us with some SWAG. I’ve managed to secure the Marina’s pavilion for our use for get togethers, activities, group meals if we wish, etc. I plan on providing some live musical entertainment at some point, either from my duo or my solo vocal/guitar act.
Still have a lot of work to do, but am thinking of loosely following the format of other rendezvous events in which the first night is a cocktail hour and then a pot-luck/sharing dinner. The second night is usually also a pot luck dinner, but my wife and I were thinking we could make this a New Haven Pizza night. For those of you who don’t know, Pepe’s and Sally’s in New Haven, CT are famous for some of the absolute best pizza on the planet. New Haven area folks claim that Frank Pepe invented pizza as we know it. We can order and I’ll take the short drive to New Haven and pick up the pies we need. Just an idea.
The third night will be a dinner at a local restaurant. The dinner will be either fully or partially sponsored by the factory – depends on how many participants we have.
Area: The Milford Lisman Landing Marina is located in Milford Harbor and is as far into the harbor as one can navigate. As such, the water is calm and the walk into downtown Milford is measured in feet or yards and not miles. There are plenty of shops and restaurants in downtown Milford and the fare ranges from ice cream to tacos to burgers to high end dining and everything in between. No fast food, however. The neighboring marina, Milford Boat Works has a well-stocked ship’s store in the event you should need something for your boat. They also have a few nice gifts.
Marina and Dockage Reservations: Each tug owner will need to make his/her own reservations. Dockage is $3.50/foot for the Thursday night and $4.00/foot on Friday and Saturday nights. Shore power is $10.00/night for 30 amp and $15.00/night for 50 amp service. The marina offers free pump out services and there is fuel next door at Milford Boat Works. For those of you wishing to trailer your boat, there is a city ramp on site. You will need a permit to use the ramp, but the marina will waive the permit fees with two nights of dockage. When you make your reservations either via phone or Dockwa, please let them know that you are part of the Ranger Tug group, as they will try to make sure that we’re all together. I would suggest making reservations sooner rather than later, as although they are planning on us, they will take reservations on a first come, first served basis. As long as a cancellation is received more than 24 hours in advance, you are entitled to a full refund.
