We went into Great Kills on May 30th our way north. Here's my take on the current state of affairs at Great Kills (one of our favorite stops when heading north or south along the east coast: Great kills is a shadow of its former (pre-Sandy) self. Only a few small boats are on moorings because the moorings haven't been checked and repositioned, the RCYC docks are completely destroyed with no evidence of rebuilding, the other yacht clubs seem to be operating at their docks only, and the park docks (the far right side of the harbor) and building are gone. Boats are piled up on the shore, both to the left and far right of the entrance channel after entering the harbor. Not a pretty picture. It is apparent that a lot of work has been done to clean up Sandy's aftermath, but a lot remains to be accomplished before Great Kills is anywhere close to it's pre-Sandy vibrancy. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><>Mozilla Thunderbird<><><><><><><><><><> Bob McLeran and Judy Young Manatee Cove Marina MV Sanderling Patrick Air Force Base DeFever 41 Trawler Melbourne, Florida Blog: http://mvsanderling.net/Blog Web: http://cruising.mvsanderling.net/
