Paddling on Silver Bay
This past weekend I finally got to bring my dog out on the boat for the first time this summer. She just loves it. I think she is part fish and will swim all day if you let her.
Summer is a Golden Doodle. (that's French for 'I paid a lot of money for a Mutt') Her dad was a Golden Retriever her Mom a Standard Poodle. She is not supposed to Shed.. (she does just not like a typical dog) She has been a great dog, a true people person.

- 08/07/08 03:54 AM
Monofilament fishing line is estimated to take 500 years to decompose... It is a hazard to marine animals, and people alike. Boat propellers HATE it! And it is dangerous to people diving and getting tangled in it. (exactly why I dive with Multiple Knives!)
There are now 11 locations in New Jersey to recycle fishing line:
Leonardo State Marina, Middletown, NJ Bahrs Landing Marina, Highlands, NJ Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, Barnegat Light Island Beach State Park Forked River State Marina South Harbor Marine, Waretown Wharton State Forest Utches Marina, Cape May Miss Chris Marina, Cape May D&R Canal Kittatinny Valley … (7 comments)

The Kayak is DONE!
Last winter I started building a Kayak. I always like to challenge myself to see what I can do, I am a firm believer that you can do anything if you try, and you need some sort of hobby outside of work. Since I don't sail much in the winter; why not build a boat!
I cheated just a little, I ordered a kit. It is called stitch and glue... I wish I took more photos of the beginning process, heck I didn't take any! The kit comes in an 8 foot box, and it becomes a … (15 comments)

It is close to 50 years old and is presented with a "Disney Like" narration. The most amazing thing is how accurate it still is for today. It talks about what Seaside Heights and the surrounding areas have to offer to visitors.
