End Of An Era
 

*** R.I.P POP POP ***

Sadly my grandfather, the man who started it all. 3 generations of Barnaget Bay boaters, passed away peacefully Tuesday morning. Although never a Formula owner himself, had it not been him or his love for the water, my father and I would not own the Formula's that we have and love today. He was a great man, mentor, and friend. He will be miss but never forgotten. Rest in Peace.

Sorry, bud. Chin up....

So sorry for your loss.Rest In Peace

Sorry for your lost.....Hope he is enjoying fair winds and calm seas..

God Bless ...... There was a video ....I think it was on one of the Manufactors web sites ...
About a man and his life long love of boating ....I failed in trying to find it ..If someone remembers where its located its truly a well done piece .......m

I am sorry for your loss as well.

Even though I have never met the man, it is always hard to hear about special people in others lives who pass away.

The next time I am on the water I raise my drink and toast him in the sky.

So sorry for your loss. I'm sure he has found good weather and calm seas. Here's the video Offthefront was talking about:

Sorry to hear. God Bless

Sorry for your loss Brian.

Thank you all for the kind words. It's been a difficult time these past few weeks for my family and I. We appreciate all the support. He was truly loved by all and will be missed, but we must continue on. Beginning of a new chapter.

Sory for your loss, may he rest in peace. he is a better place now.

Thanks Tony. Appreciate it. Enjoy the upcoming weekend. Wish I could be down there.

Hey Brian, See if you can boat a little more down here next season. I hope all is well, all things considered.

I'm working on it Tony. I'm working on it. I'd love to be down there more next year. I'm weighing my options. Actively searching for place like a high and dry service. I've looked into Key Harbor Marina in Waretown, but they are pretty pricey. Double what I'm paying now. Once I get my trailer straightened out I plan on making more trips down there. So you'll see more of me next year.

Or you could buy my lift in Beach Haven then just pay slip rental.Another guy in my marina says he wants it but let me know if you are interested in case he backs out.

Lift is not in the budget right now. Thought you were keeping the 292 for a bit.

Tim, were you at Tices last Saturday. Saw a 292 similar to yours come in near the main sand bar. Was pretty packed in there.

No went to AC Sat Sunday went to the beach and just took a ride.Keeping my 292? don't know I went to look at a 35 Fountain a couple of weeks ago but we were to far apart dollar wise.Will probably wait a bit and get what I really want a 36 Pantera.
Sat a guy at my marina was asking about putting a lift in so I threw out a number for mine.He said ok,when I got it a few years ago it was with the understanding that if I went bigger I could move it to another slip.But the guy who was leasing the marina with an option to buy walked.The guy who owns it does not want lifts in the bigger slips.So if I have a chance to get out of it I am going to take it.If he does not come up with the money will probably stay next year.But if I sell it I am ready to move if the right deal comes along.If not I just trailer for a year no big deal.
Thinking about trailering up to Trenton on day and just running the river for a change of pace.Any places to eat near Phil.

I can think of a few places.


Katmandu - Have to dock at the city docks at the ball park and walk up. Good happy hour 5-7 on Fridays. Heard they have a pretty good brunch on Sundays too.

Curtin's Wharf - This is where we usually go. It's no Captains but decent food. Pretty good atmosphere. Recommend the cajun Chicken Pita. Not a whole lot of dock space, fills up pretty quickly too.

McCrossins - Down near Dredge Harbor at Riverside marina, never been not sure if it's still there.

Cattails Bar and Grill - A little further south on the river, not sure if they are still open either.

Dave & Busters - Fun for all

Chesapeake City - If you don't mind the ride, head down the C&D. Chesapeake Inn will be on the left hand side. Just before the big bridge. Good brick oven pizza.

Other then that, not a whole lot more
