Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

You from Jersey? I'm from Jersey. What exit?

Grew up on Barnegat Bay (Toms River/Island Heights). Was driving boats before cars. Really miss those days (err...except winter when we would walk on Barnegat Bay).

Have fun!

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

Had a summer house in Silver Bay Point growing up. Spent my whole childhood life boating on Barnegat Bay. Use to hang out at ski cove. The bay froze over one year, and I ice skated from one end to the other. There was a guy out there on the ice with his car! Got my first boat when I was 9. 10 feet long with two oars.

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

Then you must recognize where I live from the photos.

Nice family of 9 ducks we are raising this summer. They are here every day and now they are much larger. Yes, I clean the pool all the time.

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

I used to live in Beachwood. Before that I lived in Snug Harbor off Silver Bay (Fisher Blvd.).

One winter Silver Bay was soooo frozen a couple of buddies and I rode our minibikes all over the bay, from one side and one end to the other.

The last place you want Stecz to be is behind your back.

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

LS & IGGY:

OMG! I'm not sure of your age(s), but I lived in Toms River (Water St.), Silver Bay (Silver Bay Dr.) and Snug Harbor (Matso Drive) btwn 1962 and 1980. My girlfriend lived in Beachwood and since I wasn't old enough to drive, I'd visit her by boat.

The first place I lived as a child was on the Toms River in one of those old captain's houses (Water St). Had a lot with/dock across the street. My earliest memories are of the boat my dad had and the fishing trips we would take all over Barnegat Bay.

I attended Toms River High School North and eventually switched over to South where I graduated in 1980. Immediately joined the Marines and went to Calif. Haven't been back since.

Small world, ey?

Danny O,
You might not recognize TR anymore, the population is about 100,000 now.

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

I'm also workin the Point Pleasant Race as a sweep boat....so if ya need a seat let me know and i'll see if i can sqeeze ya in.

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

Does that tour come with or without a police escort off the lake and the 250.00 noise ticket... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :(

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

I used to hang on Stephan Ave! What year(s) were you "growing up" there? Walter Rockhill, Brian Patterson, Lee Truskin. Any of these names ring a bell? They all lived on Stephan. We had our own little street-gang (not hard-asses, just wise-asses). Great memories.

Toms River was a nice place to be a kid in the 60's & 70's (pop. 60k when I left in '80). Riding dirtbikes, racing around in boats and building hot rods in the garage with Springsteen on the radio...

"Nice place to be from", as I tell everyone.

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

"Berks Law" Steve Berk is his name ( My Dad )

Was his 1st race boat ( 28 Cigarette ) raced it in 1977-1978.

His family had a summer house in Silver bay point 344 Cheryl Drive.

He had a house in Bricktown.

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

Danny O,
It's a small world. Brian Patterson's family rented my parents house. My sister and brother knew him well. I've known Walter for years-he recently got married, had a baby (I'm not sure which was first the wedding or baby) and bought a house on Aldo.
My father got transferred to Albany, but I use to spend the summer with my grandparents on Stephan-next door to the Patersons. You would probably know my grandfather-all the kids knew him as 'Howie", he was very popular with the neighborhood kids. Did you know the Wingenders, or my brother/sister Debbie & Kevin?
I ended up buying a house on Stephan 9 years ago. Where did you live?

Lucky,
I didnt understand your response-was that your dads boat?

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

Bob G,
Yes, it was my Dad's boat.
LS Jr.

Bob G,
Those were the good old days.
Here is a pic from 1978 when we raced in St. Pete

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

Having fun down in Jersey Bobby ??

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

Wow! Small freakin' world. Well, maybe not, but the Internet makes it seem that way.

Yes, I remember your grandfather. He used to drive a big (white?) Cadillac Eldorado, right? The name "Wingender" doesn't sound familiar, but "Debbie & Kevin" do. What is your age? Sounds like you may be younger than I.

I lived at 166 Silver Bay Dr., but we kept our boat down on Stephan and then a few blocks over, until moving to Snug Harbor where we had our own dock.

Tell Walter I said hello. Can't reveal my actual name on the Internet, but if you mention Brian Patterson and "that other four-eyed kid" they used to hang with, he'll know exactly who I am (girlfriend's name was "Martha"). I sent Walter a postcard a few years back, but never heard anything.

Best regards, homeboy!
