Ruff Rider 4th of July out of Sodus

[TOP SECRET]

Stopped at Mills Fruit Stand down rt104. Great selection of ice cream, much better than hots point in sodus point. They also have finger food inside like burgers and chicken fingers. We bought some of their cherries as well.

There is a small patch shallow sandy water in the bay, called party cove. Usually its not too busy, but its packed today. Its a good spot to anchor up and clean your boat!

Ate at one of our local favs today... Captain Jacks.

The place has a pirate mixed with hunters cabin atmosphere, kids especially love it. Last year they expanded and revamped their menu and wait staff for the better.

They have a decent selection of finger foods and dinner meals.

Mr. Ruff Riders Reco: Buried Treasure

Mrs. Ruff Riders Reco: Chicken quesadillas

Food 4*

Service 4*

Price 4*

There is also a new arcade next door for the kids...

We then hit up the shop across the street called the sodus point trading post...

They had a lot of touristy stuff like sodus point tshirts and little nick knacks. They also have a small ice cream shop and a ton of fudge choices.

Ray two weeks ago you could have launched from the parking lot! The water level has dropped a good 4" since then... Im hoping it stays about where it is as it got way too shallow last year.

You too Rod! Found a problem with my autopilot... In rough water I used to hold onto the steering wheel... Cant do that with the AP and I keep falling off the chair in rough water lol. I think I need to install a handle.

For those with young kids there is the bay beach on sodus point. There are lifeguards on the weekend and the swim area is roped in.

We like to take the dog for a swim just down the boardwalk from the beach.

The bay side is often much better for swimming as the lake side is constantly plagued by algae and weeds.
