WINGIN’ IT
Jim Roberts of Wall tries out his kite wing on the Navesink yesterday.
Conditions were iffy on the Navesink River yesterday, with just a few small iceboats and skaters venturing out from Red Bank. The ice was said to be too thin for larger craft.
Today, “We’re hoping to possibly sail some DN stern steerers and Buffalo DNs in front of the club if the ice firms up,” says the voice on the prerecorded North Shrewsbury Ice Boat & Yacht Club‘s ice hotline (732.747.5665). “We need some colder temperatures.”
We’ll get them, tonight, according to the National Weather Service forecast for our area.
And for Sunday, forget Tampa. Conditions should be perfect for the Super Bowl XLIII Pre-Game Tailgate Party in the parking lot of the Siena Grille on Shrewsbury Avenue that afternoon. (Forty bucks gets you an all-you-can-eat BBQ, beer, wine & soda, and the satisfaction of helping raise money for the New Jersey Law Enforcement Torch Run.)
