Another boat beached himself at the false hook last night. Looks to be a 20' walk around.
On Saturday some friends of mine at the marina said someone had to rescue a man from a Hobie sailboat that overturned in Sandy Hook Bay. it took awhile for them to find him. A few rescue boats were involved.
This must be what you were referring to JB. A friend sent me a pic of the latest. It seems a few run aground up there every year because the tip of the false hook gets bigger and bigger due to beach replenishment sand traveling.
Yes, turns out it was the Fishing Addiction out of highlands.
Usually you suspect its the guys who bought their boat two weeks ago......not the case this time around.
Sooo easy to loose your bearings at night. Have to be extra careful around the tip of SH.
Agreed. every year same old same old.
Stupid beach replenishment. that's why I stopped fishing Sandy Hook long ago
Whether you are a good captain or not that has got to be so embarassing!
Curious if you guys who fish SH are finding any more, or less, boats stranded there now that they have dug out the channel.
The latest one, my buddy shared it from fb. Think it happened today.
Another one at Sandy Hook. Don't you guys check your GPS?
Heard had triple 300's. Sometimes its better to go a little slow if you're not sure. Hope he got towed off ok.
Another one from monday. Arent all boaters supposed to take a boating safety course? Where was the radio on the capsized boat?
