Whoa that is some deep water there...how deep is the water typically under normal conditions. A lot of boats in the Atlantic Highlands also sank from the storm, most were not on floating docks, but that harbor has no protection in a NE'rn. Hope the boat is ok and that we finally get some nice weather.
Brigantine is pretty shallow. We probable have 4ft. at low tide. The island turns just north of us and those boats got hit hard.Bending steel risers on pilings or breaking them off.My friend had a stern riser break and all he could do was watch,to dangerous to go near it. He went down to check my boat and called me to say it looked like it was sitting in a pond.He made out ok though.My marinia has a good storm watch,alot of private docks that rent slips have a your on you own policy.The boat that sunk is not my marina I"m happy I paid a little more so I can sleep during a storm.
Hey JRgrady glad you did good. Joe and Nick got hammered but their ok.I was behind brig on Wed. lucky there wasn"t more boats in yet.Looked like only about 1/3 to 1/2 of boats in .Could have been worse.
