Hi Folks,

Way in the back of my feeble mind is the thought that I may move back to Atlanta. Yes, I know, expensive, traffic, yadda yadda
But it may be for family reasons.

What do slips generally cost, and how much of a waiting list/time do people generally encounter there? I used to windsurf out of Van Pugh park, what a great park.

Second, in mid July I'm coming down to visit, and spend some time with my Mom. I would like to find some nice waterfront restaurant to take her to. Any suggestions?

Frank,
As you probably already know from my previous post that I'm in [url="http://www.flagshipmarinas.com/marinas/aqualand/Default.htm"]Aqualand[/url] my slip runs me $1465 per year that's with no power and no water, up from $1355 last year. I shopped around a little the first part of this year at other marinas and this was the cheapest I could find on my side of the lake. Other than them raising the rent this year Aqualand is a pretty neat place. There's no wait that I know of, plenty of open slips.

As for NICE waterside restaurant, I know of a few little spots but nothing nice on the water. Aqualand has a outside grill but July would be hot and buggy. However they just opened a new place close to the lake that is nice called the [url="http://www.thirdcoastgrille.com/"]Third Coast Grille[/url], I haven't been there yet because of the long lines.

Perhaps you might consider Lake Allatoona? Less boat traffic by a long shot. Not as good of a sailing lake (narrower) but at least you can go out on weekends without feeling like you're in the spin cycle of a washing machine.

We kept our boat at Park Marina in Red Top Mountain State Park. Reasonably priced and a beautiful setting. There were several waterfront restaurants on the lake at that time (we left in '02) but not sure about now.

Just a thought.

Steve
