Bet that took your mind off the rot works 👍

When drilling plugs stagger the holes. You will get more plugs and less waste. Keep up the good work

@@furphyman That's very clever. I have plenty of wood for the remaining plugs, but I will definitely do that.

Many years ago, my family kept a boat at Forked River. I refurbished a Barnegat sneak box. It was gaff rigged and gave several years of enjoyment until I left for college. I can’t imagine what the bay looks like now. Keep up the good fight.

I am pretty new to sailing, but I remember playing in the Bay as a boy (near Beach Haven) and I have heard (fishing-wise) that it's not what it used to be... brown algae is a problem there now, and it has a bottom-up effect on everything living in there. Probably a lot more boat traffic than in your day, also. Jet skis and the like.
