Harbor is trashed!!!
After yesterdays storm the Atlantic Highlands Harbor looks like a war zone!!
Winds over 60 MPH took out a good portion of the commuter pier as well as Dock boxes and planking on all piers. All the signs for the Party Boats except 2 are gone....drove through around 3pm yesterday, it looked like the ocean. I guess most of the damage occured at High tide because all the signs were there at that time....What a mess!!! |

Re: Harbor is trashed!!!
Ron - A question for you.. Do those 2 fixed docks closest to the opening where the ferry comes in get hammered pretty regularly? A friend of mine got a slip on one of them this year. Should he be concerned ?

Re: Harbor is trashed!!!
If he is out toward the end, it gets pretty sporty out there....although, most of the Harbors damage comes this time of year, not in the Summer months.
March has always been the worse month for as long as I can remember. |

Re: Harbor is trashed!!!
a friend of mine had a slip on that dock last year and his boat got pounded!!
all are on a fixed dock an a total pain in the ass at low tide to get gear on an off boat .needless to say he is out of there this year! |

Re: Harbor is trashed!!!
My Buddy Kept His Boat Right Around There Last Year ( The Chumbox) He Upgraded Boats This Winter And Luckily Moved His Slip To The Other Side Of The Pb's
I was in atlantic city past couple days for convention and yesterday around 1 pm the entrance glass wall to the borgata ( approx 25 foot high 60 foot wide ) seamed to be flexing from wind and water was seeping through the plate glass seams after watching it for couple minutes i realized it was pretty stupid to be standing there

Re: Harbor is trashed!!!
Went to check out the marina at the Atlantic Highlands after a visit with my mom and as Ron said it looks like a war zone. Also saw people looting boat boxes, what a shame. A real free for all. But what goes around comes around as the saying goes. Saw Captain George checking on the Angler, the only boat at the dock. The Dorothy B, and the Sea Tiger are the only signs standing.
