Forked River

Wow. I’m not sure I’ve seen this many boats in one place. They’re mostly ashore right now. I remember seeing this boat (Paquet) some time in the past. Nice old McCurdy & Rhodes design.

Had a nice trip across the bay. When I went into the mud I was overheating a bit trying to drive through the mud before I stopped to wait for the tide. Cleaned out the strainer basket and all is good. Floated free after about 2 hours.

I just anchored here for the night.

Wind is forecast to drop tomorrow. Monday is rain. Looks like Tuesday will be the trip around Sandy Hook and into NY. I’m happy to noodle my way north to Manasquan over the next two days. That’s the jumping off spot for the open water run to NY.
