The Bubble Is In The Battle On The Bay

Power boaters with families, this weekend in Patchogue is The Battle On The Bay Miss Geico Triple Crown. It is a huge boat race on The Bay just off Patchogue and it's free. The events start on Friday, August 21st on land in Patchogue. There is music, food, vendors and you can view the race boats. On Saturday there are the time trials in the water and more fun on land. Sunday is race day. There are three separate races, starting at noon.

There is a viewing area in the Sandspits of Shorefront Park in Patchogue. If you have a boat, there is a viewing area just off Shorefront Park in Patchogue in The Bay. It is sort of tailgating with your boat in the water! Check out more detailed info at The Battle of The Bay website http://greatsouthbayracing.com/index.html

Even if you do not make it to the races - living in The Bayport Bubble - you will hear the boats!

A Lumpy Crab On The Bay

JT's on The Bay on Corey Creek Canal in Blue Point is yummy! We went on a Friday night at 7pm and were seated right away - there was only two of us. Guess we hit it right. The atmosphere is excellent! There is a huge outside deck with tons of seating. You can look at The Bay or the canal and the boats going by. This is what Long Island in the summer is all about. The food is pretty good. We had the crispy fried calamari with cherry pepper rings for an appetizer. It was a total rip off of Harbor Crab's fried calamari, but it was good. For dinner I ate broiled stuffed shrimp with lump crab stuffing and sherry lobster sauce $23. This was really good and it was real crab meat - no imitation stuff here. Delicious! And I would recommend JT's watermelon margarita on the rocks to everyone - excellent! Good meal, great drinks, terrific atmosphere! And I believe they have transient docking. http://www.jtsonthebay.com/dinner.html
