Y-Landing has diesel but not at the gas pumps. A boat has to pull way into the launch slip to access the diesel hose that comes from an above ground tank on shore.

Thanks for the clarification, I was not aware of that. It does make sense with the MV Bear III in the area.

There is history to the connection as well. The Y-Landing was where the YMCA Camps, Lawrence and Nokomis, Landed their boat, the Bear.

The Lawrence Mass. YMCA owned the marina until it was sold to the current owners 25 years ago.

Oh - and I always thought it was called the Y-Landing because it was located between the X & Z Landings.

The Y-Landing: I always go there looking for their 93 octane gasoline, so's I can coax the most out of my twin 1982, Evinrude 9.9hp- tiller-handles on the old Alumacraft 14'er. Some smart person needs to invent a 'one for two' tiller handle controller, but until then, I just sit real even and control each tiller with a different hand!!!

Saturday afternoon, and it's time to let it rip & roar all the way down the broads......with the bow pointed towards what I know is Bob's cottage....and the wide-open & empty space between Steamboat Isl & Clay Pt.....it's time to bounce along in my souped-up rowboat.......it's scream & fly time....and planing along at 22mph....tops....from wave crest to wave crest......wow!!!
