Cruising America's Great Loop and other inland routes
View all threadsDuring the storm, the barrier island breached and flushed a bunch of houses
into the ICW. A week or two ago, in a normal storm, that same spot
breached again. When spring gets here, you should assume that the ICW is
not available in New Jersey, would not surprise me if it were only a foot
deep in places.
This was all in the area of the Mantoloking Bridge.

Ahoy All:
Even though we're currently docked in the Florida Keys for the winter,
summer cruising is less than 6 months away. A planned "Loop" adventure is
kind of on hold right now, for a few reasons, one of them being the unknown
condition of the NJ ICW.
Do any on the list have current information about conditions after
Sandy? anchorages, shoaling, missing signage,...? Any and all comments
will be appreciated.

Wade; Thanks for asking, same thing is on our mind. Fred Thanks for the Input.
I have been talking to guys on the SSB Radio as a Ham radio operator
and staying in touch via www.waterwayradio.net Cape May New Jersey is OK.
They are good.
So question is what about after Cape May. I suspect that the major inlets
Manesquan ? etc will be Ok, at least hope so. We will be also looking into it
as we get closer to March.
We will examine our planned route and check out the stops on www.activecaptain.com
and make some phone calls before hand. . With our 5 ft draft we were not planning to
do the inside ICW through New Jersey anyway.

But then again, with all the jillions of dollars being thrown at this
problem right now, it might end up dredged and BETTER than previous years by
summer time.
