Small world. Fond memories of fishing, claming, waterskiing and enjoying the areas. Strangely though no diving.

Or cross the Columbia River Bar during a ebb tide and a Easterly wind.

The worst place on the planet, hence why the Coast Guard trains here.

I'm in East Hampton have been for 25 years before that Westchester spent even weekend in Montauk .

Bought a boat from Mario Scoponich in Hampton Bays became goods friends with him that's how I wound up doing Shinnecock a few times a year.

I dove most of offshore wrecks off NY/NJ over the years,

Was just up at North Shore keeping a boat in Greenpoint for the winter.

Small world ...

I’d only want to do it on a coast guard boat with a coast guard instructor...

What was the ultimate outcome of this "accident"? I have seen no follow up

Last time I asked Tony, it was unresolved.

Ataude is presently being fixed. The amount of damage was substantial and it will take time to get her back in the water, but we are moving forward as quickly as possible. The hull has been rebuilt, repaired, and painted, but there are some technical issues with the deck house/flybridge, and there is a need for some custom fabrication, which on this island is hard to come by.

As with any insurance claim, there are difficulties and things which delay the process, which unfortunately I cannot get into more detail about.

Meanwhile we are making due with our other 2 boats.
