Irene Update......Some of my customers have e-mailed me as to what the status of Reel Fun Sportfishing since hurricane Irene passed through on Saturday night and Sunday.
Luckily, I decided to haul out my Parker onto land the Friday before the storm, and she is safe and sound on blocks sitting in the lot at Anglers Marina. That's the good news. Now for the bad news.
The dock where the boat is berthed, the end of the "t" dock, was severly damaged by the Sunday morning's high tide coupled with the 60 kt N/NW winds that hit Sea Bright and now we are in the rebuilding phase. I was told the pier builders would be there soon to begin construction and repair as fast as possible to get me and the other 3 vessels that are at the t-dock back in the water.
Sea Bright was hit very hard by Irene as many businesses sustained extensive water damage which will take days and weeks to clean up from. That said, numerous other marina's in the hard hit Monmouth County area were devastated by Irene and I'm sure repairing their docks too. So be patient, and when we get back in the water, I hope in a few days, I will send out notices to all my anglers. It could have been much worse.
Tight Lines,
