The road down to the cabin is quite rough, we do it in a Honda van, but it is tricky, and if it rains we park at the top and walk down rather than get stuck. So, a car with substantial ground clearance is pretty mandatory. Second, we don't usually get cell service at the cabin, and have to hike up the hill a bit to use AT&T roaming, which allows us on a bandwidth-available lowest priority mode, I think. So, you can make a short call, but usually get cut off after a minute or two. No voice mail access, and most of our phones don't have text service. So, coordinating people who want to drop by will take a little logistics, like knowing when to hike up the hill to be in phone contact. I suppose one way to deal with it would be to have everybody meet in the Montauk Lodge parking lot and then follow us. Hmmm, actually, there isn't a people limit, but a parking limit. Although there is a flat place at the top of the hill where several vehicles could be parked.
Anyway, there is this fairly small cabin with two sleeping porches where we can drag out bunk beds. If it gets too big, then we have an overload of bathroom and cooking facilities. But, we did have 20 people out there once and made it work. As for boat races, in the upper Current, it is so small and shallow, that canoes sometimes have difficulty passing. Before anything serious gets set up, I will have to make sure it is OK with my friend (I'm pretty sure he will be OK with it) and that the plumbing situation can be fixed in time. Plenty of time for that if this is going to happen in late summer.
