Storm Sandy Damage

Post by 9mtrojan »

Hi All,
First I'd like to wish everybody a Happy and Healty New Year. My love, Second Home was afloat after the Sandy storm hit Vikings Marina in Laurence Harbor, NJ. The marina itself was destroyed. I had some fiberglass damage which isn't a problem. Bow rail was ripped out but fixable. I was wondering if we know of a place that I can get a portside window for my 1984 9m Trojan express. It must be that shatter proof glass because it broke into a bunch of little pieces. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thank You in advance Paul :D

Check with Bob @ Beacon Marine who also sponsors this site. If he don't have one he should be able to direct you in the right direction.

Speaking of Hurricane Sandy. . . and Lake Michigan

Just read an article yesterday. The Corp of Engineers spent $500k in August 2012 dredging Waukegan Harbor to a depth of 22 feet for the ore freighters. Hurricane Sandy wiped it all out and now the depth is back to 12 feet and closed to freighters.

My summer harbor entrance 9 miles to the north has a depth of 7 feet!

Oh, not to mention we have had no snow in the Midwest and no ice on the lake so Lake Michigan will be hitting a 50 year low this season.
