Along the Keyport shore flooding was evident at many locations. Some areas where I haven't seen it or just didn't take notice of it before. The boat ramp had only a short distance of angled pavement showing. The parking lot where the Ye Cottage Inn use to be now had the bay pushing water over the bulkhead into the parking lot. The flooding down by Wagner's seemed the normal for a high tide and was just a nuisance.
A poor old sailor who loves the bay, the people, and the boats. Follow this blog to find out more about the bay. Lets see what more we can enjoy in Raritan Bay.

October bay visit
Went down to the bay to see what was going on. It was quiet, I mean erie quiet. Activity was very low. There were only a few fishing from the shore, the tide was higher than normal, and the boat ramp parking lot only had about trailers in it. I wanted to see how many sailboats remained in Keyport Harbor, so I ran along the bay to Keyport Yacht Club to see what was going on there. It was early so I really didn't expect many people there. Very quiet! I drove down the street to Olsen's and there was John power washing the bottom of a boat just hauled out. Really taking advantage of the time and tide. This is the busy season for them and much of their work is governed by the tide.
