In spite of the wreckage on the Jersey Shore, at least one marina is still available. That's Hoffman's Marina in the Mannesquan Inlet. It's only 2-3 miles from the worst of the destruction, and when I asked if they will have space for transients this spring, he writes: "Most certainly. Plenty of transient slips and gas and diesel fuel. " Looks like it will NOT be necessary to run all of NJ in one shot on the outside after all. Fred Tug 44 http://www.tug44.org/

In our survey of marinas we're actually finding the "future" to be very bright. As for the inlets, Great Egg Harbor, Barnegat, Manasquan are clear but access to the NJ Intracoastal is blocked. We plan to provide regular updates right into the cruising season so you may want to visit our site.
