I finally made it to Tices Shoal. After planning to go for boys' weekend only to have overheating problems I went with the family the weekend after Labor Day and it took about an hour. The temperatures were in the 80's and the bay water was warm. The ocean might have been warm too but there was a strong breeze and the beach didn't look comfortable. We anchored 500-600 ft off shore so we'd have a lot of water around us. During the day there could have been 60 - 70 boats out there with us. At night most headed for home and only 5-6 other boats stayed the night.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves just swimming, eating, and drinking. We ran the generator for a while to cook and listen to music but the night was cool and we didn't run the A/C. We set the nav system to issue an alarm if the boat started to drift but found that running the computer for the evening drained the battery. Have to try another tact next time.
