Boat Show Time!

C.E. Grundler

It’s been an interesting year, boating wise, here along the east coast, especially around New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Many of the people I’ve known for years have lost their boats and are now holding insurance checks, considering the next step. So many area marinas were devastated, and the rebuilding is moving ahead, full force. And with the New York Boat Show opening today, everyone is anxiously watching to see how things will play out. And today, I’ll be on the front lines.

The marina where I’ve been working these days, Haverstraw Marina, is one of the few to make it through the storm relatively intact. A few boats sustained damage and the fuel dock had vanished without a trace, but aside from that, the majority of the marina and boats within survived, due to a mix of geography, well-built docks, tall pilings, and well-prepared boat owners. And since then, there’s been a surge of new customers seeking slips for the coming season. And we’ll be there, at the NY Boat Show, answering questions and offering information. So if you’re visiting the boat show, stop by our booth and say Hi!
