DOCKS UNDOCKED: BRING ON THE ICE!

redbankgreen was there Saturday for the annual haul-in day at the Monmouth Boat Club in Red Bank.

That’s the day club members pull in the floating docks for the season to prevent them from getting damaged by the Navesink River’s winter ice, a condition much anticipated by the club’s neighbor, the North Shrewsbury Ice Boat & Yacht Club. The two organizations share waterfront access.

Speaking of hard water, the National Weather Service says we could be in for a touch of frost tonight.
