Barnegat Bay Bash '08

Barnegat Bay Bash '08


We had four boats attend this years function. Bob and his Com-Pac 23(Koinonia), Dennis in his Morgan 30(Cacique). Newcomers Peter and Becky in their Com-Pac 19(Beagle) as well as I and my crew in a Seaward 22(Panacea).







We pulled Bob's boat along side and had everyone over for dinner and a great time was had by all. Peter and Becky headed home as the rest of us prepared for sunset. Robin took the honors of blowing the conch horn as the sun slipped below the horizon.









As for me, I anchored a bit too close to a sandbar and as the wind switched I worried about sticking the keel into the bottom all night. Sunday morning we all pulled anchor and headed off for home by 9am. Which turned out to be perfect timing to get home before the hail storm hit.







That's a dime on the table to show the size comparison. This was the largest hail I've ever seen! It pretty much rained the rest of the day causing much flooding for those on their way home after a weekend at the Jersey Shore.

Great photos!  Sounds like a good time was had by all.  Glad you weren't caught out in the storm.
