Incredible Nor'easter crushing us here on the Jersey shore. 20 foot waves!!

Very sad about the scallop boat that went down outside of Cape May...three men lost, including a father and son. Why would they be out in this nor'easter?

Anyway Gus....hope your new boat is OK in this mess.

Talked to one of the ladies at the marina in Ocean City

She said that one rope was a little frayed and they replaced it

We have the boat at Sunshine Marina which is very small and well protected . . . she said there was no damage at their marina

You are going to have to come down to Pirates Cove

Thanks

Hoping to get her down next weekend around the 21st . . . waiting for a window in the weather

You are going to have to come down to Pirates Cove

Agreed. I'll make it a point to do that in the near future. Thanks.

I 2nd inlet cut thru at Oregon Inlet, going to be interesting to see what kind of shape Oregon Inlet and inside the bridge is in once the Coast Guard gets outs to survey the waterways.

Stopped by to check up on Gus's "baby", all was OK. Checked out OC Inlet from the balcony of "The Shark" restaurant. Despite the inlet being the better part of a mile away, I could clearly see standing breakers spanning from jetty to jetty. To see them at that range, they must have been all of 6-8 feet tall.
