Barnegat Bay South Journal of Upsen Downs 9-3-07 Labor Day Motored out of Mariners Marina, Bay ave. Barnegat, NJ at 10:30 am. 10-15 SSW winds. Single handed O'Day Mariner 19, hoisted jib, main got stuck. Climbed up and fixed it. Re-hoisted main. Hugged marshes heading east. Moving nicely, turned Whale point and headed southeast for Harvey Cedars. Shoal water, centerboard banging bottom I pulled it up a little. Blowing hard on a beat towards Harvey Cedars it felt 15 knots. Made quick time across bay. Not many sailboats out, and not many powerboats. Won't be able to lower sails easily out in the open. Pulled into lee of Kinsey's Cove area. 1967 19' Oday Mariner Watched a boat negotiate the small opening to the creek. Started the outboard, lowered the sails and motored in. The width of the creek quickly narrowed to just a few boat lengths. This being my first trip into the waterway, I lowered my speed. Waved to a family getting their SunFish off
