Bob,

I was talking about Clifton and the urban north-east part of NJ ... wall to
wall pavement ... and then the Meadowlands.

I'm guessing it'll be about 5 feet at the deep end of the dock, but the
bottom is soft slush so it will tend to blow away from current produced by
passing barges, once a boat sits above it.  I'm hoping for 6+ feet
eventually, so I can get a friend in there with his WW2 Army tug.

Hey Fred, with that comment (made in jest I am sure), it is clear that you
have never spend June thru end of Oct, on the coast of Southern New Jersey.
Long Beach Island, Ocean City, Avalon, Stone Harbor, Wildwood, Cape May,
and many others. "No stinky" air, just beautiful white sand beaches and
water temps mid summer till end of Sept, in the low to mid 70's. Come on
down, with your American Tug, and spend a few weeks at many of the fine
marinas (or anchor out in the bays) along this part of the NJ Coast.

Fred, what is the depth along the sides of your new (GREAT DOCK) dock?
Might try and visit you with my KKY 44 (4' 6" light load depth).

Don't forget the oil refinery near NYC on the Jersey Turnpike.  As a kid passing by I could never figure out why NJ's nickname is "The Garden State."
