Here are a few quick and easy recipes from my mom who lives aboard her 38ft Pearson Minnie Gump Bugger V. She and my Dad enjoy entertaining aboard on a moments notice while they spend their summers in Long Beach Island at the Jersey shore. […]
As a new boat owner you quickly discover that your boat is also a great social gathering place. Count on it! You will have more drop-in company than ever before.

Coming into New York from the Atlantic Ocean is a wonderous experience. In calm seas you can spot the Verrazano Bridge, count the arriving flights at JFK Airport (2 per minute) and almost smell the hotdogs on Coney Island. When the weather has been less than kind, you’re lucky to see 2 boat lengths ahead in between the ocean swells colliding with the ebbing tide from the Hudson and East Rivers. […]
Next time you cross over a bridge in your car or have to wait for a bridge to open, think of the marine traffic below the bridge. […]
