Finally got into the marina today. My boat was nowhere to be found Not a good feeling. Finally after searching for ten minutes I caught A glimpse of it. It and 3 other boats washed right to the edge of the yard next to the lagoon. A few more feet and it probably would have gone in and sank. Amazingly it took on no water. The lower unit is stuck in the mud but the hull looks to be ok. The clean up around toms river begins. Its going to be a long process. Still not much power around town and crazy lines for gas.

we rode out the storm without problem. We only lost power for about 2 hours on Sunday. My Dad however didn't do so good. He and my stepmother got out in time but the house was consumed by 4ft of seawater. My marina lost approx. 30 boats, they floated away. There was almost 3ft of water in my shop. There are a few more inlets between Manasquan and Barnegat. Lots of houses completely gone. Lots of looting on the island.

Good to hear on the reports of everyone ok. I am sad to hear about boats lost. Also make sure that YOU are the only one taking gas from your boat.

Glad that it seems most of the V-20 brethren faired ok even though immediate families seemed not so much.
It did occur to me this morning though that with all these breaches in the barrier islands what the heck is going to happen when we get a half way decent Nor'Easter this winter which you know is inevitable.

Ok in Annapolis, not so much in Brick, NJ
Here in Annapolis we were lucky. Very minor damage to the house and relatively brief power outages. I texted Parrot6909, who is in Brick, NJ to see how he was doing. The picture below is the former Reelapeelin that I bought from Parrot last month. The V21 rode out the storm on the trailer in my driveway with no damage. This picture is at the slip where Parrot used to keep the boat at the island he refers to below, about 4 blocks from his house. You can see it would not take much of a surge to wreak havoc on this area. I asked him how he faired the storm. Here's his reply:
"It's pretty bad, the boats that were around the island are strewn about the neighborhood and in houses. No power since Monday, gas stations are dry... our house made it, trees didn't. Really can't complain. Lots of rebuilding to do. Every house from 3 houses away from me on toward the water is a total loss. Fires, floods. Its horrible. But again, alive, have food, water and the house. Look for pictures from Parrot when he gets power back.

Man I wish I could help in some way!!!! Pete one thing I can't stand is a thief!! I will come up and help with that problem. Im heading to chincoteague on the eastern shore of Virginia Friday. My girlfriends parents house is in ok condition the water tried to float his 20 ft Carolina Skiff away on the trailer and he said "hell no this storm aint taken my boat" and he ran out side and tied the boat off to a tree. He lost 90% of the pines in his yard. They got hit pretty dam hard also.
