Bushwacker sighted in Jersey!
This just in: Denny and his Gal Arden sighted at a dock in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ! They are well, and well-provisioned, (especially the liquor locker - of which I was the beneficiary).
Yesterday they left Atlantic City en route to NYC, and stopped at a marina in Pt. Pleasant Beach (Manasquan Inlet) overnight. The original plan was for me to pick up a part for their trawler's balky water system at a nearby Westmarine, and deliver it to them at the dock. Alas, the part was unavailable, but instead we spent a pleasant hour on the flybridge with cocktails and snacks thoughtfully provided by Arden for Denny, myself and Loren, their able captain/crew/deckhand extraordinaire.
Then we all walked over to the Shrimp Box restaurant, where we enjoyed a delicious meal and good conversation, outside on the patio, overlooking the docks and inlet. By sunset, we parted company, but not before I got to snap this photo of them in front of their boat, arm in arm. All in all, a beautiful night!
