The Hudson should be clear by spring, probably will spend more time up there this year.

I know... That area is right in my back yard...

Video from NBC on the Bay's cleanup process....

One of the guys from the DEP had told us that they have already pulled hundreds of tons of debris from the bay.

That boat in the video was right near my parents' house in Forked River.

Let's hope & pray we never endure a storm of this magnitude again.

Barnegat bay boating, was out today ran south from Surf city to Holgate inlet. Channel seems ok, the second cut through (by Southwicks) is clear to avoid the no wake zone, did not try the first just south of the bridge. You have to be very carefull in Holgate as there are new sandbars and bigger ones, if you stay close to to LBI intill Great bay instead of cutting through the center you should be fine. Holgate inlet is about 50 ft deep, but once you get past LBI, in the ocean its only 8-10 not sure what is the best way out yet. Then ran up to Forked River to the Captians inn, no floating debris and for the most part its ok, but about Loveladies just before the turn to go over to the east side of the bay seems shallower. Forked river seems the same. Proceed with caution out there

Took a ride on my Electra Glide down to my aunt's in Seaside Park this afternoon, Beach Drive,bayside. Barnegat Bay looked pretty damn nice on this beautiful day. There were some young kids in the bay having the time of their lives with a truck tire tube. Made me laugh just watching them. Anyway, I have not been keeping abreast of the debris cleanup in the bay, I hope it is going well, not every State is blessed with these fine natural resources to enjoy.
