I went down to our marina today to check on the boat and pay a $90 bill for taking off our OB motor. (rip-off) As I was chatting with the marina owner he mentioned that several people were not going to be asked back for the 2007 summer season. He said it would be the people who owned sailboats because he didn't make any money from sailboaters. (greedy stink-boater). Now we have to find a new home for "Mysterious". If anyone has any suggestions for a good sail-boat friendly marina located in the northern part of Barnegat Bay, NJ, I would really appreciate knowing about it.

Cate,
Can't help other than to commiserate...many marinas out here in eastern LI also do not accept sailboats, this shortage of slips allows those who do accept us make it more worth their while.
Good luck!

Marina's.com shows quite a few Marina's along the Jersey shore, you might also try one of the sailing clubs located in various portions
of Barnegat Bay.

Good morning Cate. I live in Michigan but I also spend time on Barnegat Bay with my family that lives there. I know of a small marina at Sandy Point in Brick along the Metedeconk river at the bay's head. I just lefet there yesterday and notice several sailboats still in the water. This marina is very spartan....not sure what services they offer other than docking. If you are interested I can ask my father-in-law to get and address and phone number. I believe the guy that owns the marina also lives in Sandy Point.

Dave,
After much searching we found the marina you are tallking about. It is called Cranberry Cove Marina. I went by there today and it looks pretty good. I talked to the owner and their slip fees are very reasonable. It looks like they only have regular electric outlets, but I assume I can get an adapter for our shore power cord? Hmm.
They don't have finger piers or catwalks between pilings so folks have to board from the bow. It looks like some people have jury-rigged little boarding platforms so I am going to look into that. All in all a nice quiet little marina with fellow sailboaters and great access to the head of the bay. Many thanks for helping out the homeless :)

You can probably buy the parts for an adapter at home depot for about 20 bucks. The piece from West Marine or others can be up to four times that amount.

We used to be in Edgewater Marina, a dumpy place next to the yacht club but affordable. They too did not have finger docks or catwalks, at that time we backed in, as we found boarding from the stearn was an easier leap than to the bow. It is also a flatter spot for the gang plank you are considering.

Backing her in can be a pain, but its well worth it when you bring company aboard the boat.
