New Jersey has become a second home for me in the summertime since the owner of the yacht I'm running is a Jersey guy. We spent a couple summers in Atlanitic City, and this year Mannaquan Inlet.
My thought are with the people of the Jersey Shore (not those MTV idiots) and everyone effect by Sandy in New England. And I hope all our Seacraft brothers are safe and sound. But I feel confident that these folks will bounce back pretty quick, this is a tough crowd and they wont take this laying down.
I'm looking forward to going back next summer. I know some things will be different, but I know the additude will be the same
BTW, I saw the Bounty on Thursday near The Race at the east end of Long Island Sound as I was traveling from NYC to Newport. She looked really cool. My thought at the time was they must be based in Mystic. But I saw on another forum that they were out for a day sail from New London with some special guest. They left for Texas after dropping off their guest because they had a deadline to meet. I don't want to play Monday morning quarterback, but I can't imagine a deadline that important. RIP to the gal they found, I hope they find the Captain, and good job to the Coast Guard for rescueing the other 14 crew.
Be safe out there.
