I am up in Warwick, NY about every other weekend (although I live in NW NJ), so
whatever is within an hour or so of that area. I have visited people with boats
at Cornwall on Hudson, and Haverstraw looks doable too, but I am not very
familiar with the area, marinas, costs, etc. Driving over that way and checking
it out sometime is on my to do list. The shore commute from NJ is getting bad
enough where a change of (closer) scenery might not be a bad idea.
Any suggestions? Feel free to email me offlist.

Subject: Re: catalina27-talk: Barnegat Bay area
I love it; I've been sailing there since 2000. Nearly always wind, lots of
nice anchorages, too many power boats at peak times but I avoid the channel,
even though the deep water is there....maybe 11 ft...in a few places....at high
tide. You get used to the idea of 5-6 ft being deep, and there is a good
amount of that outside the channel (at least around the southern end of the bay
where I am) A chart and depthfinder are musts, until you are familiar with the
bay and its shifting sands. Barnegat Inlet and access to the ocean is close
too, if you feel the need on a good day.
I have a slip at the very end of Forked River, in the state marina, but there
are plenty of other marinas up and down the river, and creeks north and south
off Rt 9. Every ride is a mile out and back in, but on the bright side it's a
nice way to start and end each sail, and its relatively protected in a storm.
Jackson or Lakewood will make for an easy commute; there are marinas in
creeks north and south of Forked River too. I drive there from NW NJ, and it
can be a bear. But I've been a commuting Jersey shore girl all my life and I'm
as close to being used to it as you can be. I have friends near the Hudson and
I am considering possibly moving the boat there, but it might be too big of a
change for me.

Lori,
How do you like the sailing on Barnegat Bay. I bummed a ride last summer
with someone who has a C320 & the sailing seemed nice. Right now I sail on the
Great South Bay on the south shore of Long Island & am trying to sell my home.
We are thinking of relocating to Jackson or Lakewood. Is dockage readily
available? I am on the waiting list at Atlantic Highlands which takes several
years. I know there are several marinas on the Forked River. Is this where you
are? Where are there other marinas on the bay?
Thanks for your reply
Lew

I do the same, for the same reason. Good Old Boat had an article about the
virtues of Genoa only sailing a few months ago too, that made me feel even more
like it was ok every so often. There is a leisurely factor that makes it very
attractive on a feisty day when you want to go out without an adrenalin fix.
For me anyway.... If the boat moves ok with the wind at hand, then I agree, go
for it.

There are a lot of people where I kept Windabout that would go out with just
genny - including me. Mostly it was because it was an afterwork sail, or it
was just way to windy out on the sound and sailing around the bay with the
genny was nice and leisurely and like you said - set up and stow away time
can't be beat. Go with it

Subject: catalina27-talk: Sailing with Genoa ( jib ) only
Listees,
Do any of you sail without the Main, Genoa only ?
I'm retired, live 6 blocks from my slip, sail single hand 5-6 times a week.
Sometimes just a few hours twice a day. I've fallen into the habit of going
out without
unpacking the main. Sail jib only. Warm up the diesel, disconnect shore
power,
cast off mooring lines, back out and head for the gate---maybe 5 minutes.
Coming in--5 to 10 minutes to batten down and head for home.
When I use the Main it's 45 minutes to go out and 45 minutes to batten down.
I haven't sailed the Main for 2 months. I feel like I'm cheating or
something.
Next time I'm GOING to sail the Main--for sure--and I don't.
Wondering if I am the only one that doe this. I never notice anyone else
out with the jib only. ???
