Before you go out on the boat, check the thread on Gas prices. West Alton Marina behind Rattlesnake and Sleeper's Island has great pricing consistently. If you are going by the Weirs in you journey, gas in the channel, at the end of Paugus, and I believe even at Anchor Marine at the Weirs are reasonable (Anchor Marine is a sponsor of this site). Just a thought.
If you were only going to be in the area of the Y landing, it probably would not make sense to drive to West Alton to save the 40 cents or so per gallon. May use more gas than you would save.
Of course, we try to convince each other that the cost of gas is why we love the lake and why we bought the new boat last year, and why our kids think we should be committed
(until they come up and want to boating
).
Enjoy your time on the lake...it is all good.
