We were documented and never transferred the documentation. We bought our boat back for a very reasonable price. Started fixing it up and then decided to move to FL. Sold boat in a week for another good price with it not totally done. Represented it exactly as it was. New owner got insurance (don't remember what co) with no hassles. When I asked about insurance after buying it back, BoatUS said they would insure it again as it wasn't a fault due to the owners and we wouldn't be considered a high risk. We even had port risk with BoatUS after buying it back while on land. They covered us moving the totalled boat via water after a surveyor signed off saying it was seaworthy. We would need a complete survey if we were going to float it again after it was pulled. BoatUS Rocks! Can't say enough about them!

I'm still waiting on Boat US surveyor/inspector. I have left a message for the surveyor assigned. He has not responded but his voice mail says due to the number of boats in houses, boats on private property (the boat doesn't belong there like Brad's) and fuel spills it will take time before he can even get to damaged boats on marina owned land. Boat US is telling me to please remain patient. The marina is just getting to the point where they can do anything and the manager is going to access the damage and call me sometime this weekend. He told me if you stood in the street with $5k in your hand there are no approved (for the marinas insurance) available independeant mechanics. Our marina was hit so hard that they are just getting to the on property boats that are damaged to prevent further damage. Not to put any drama into this because I am numb from this and other storm related issues but one of the security gaurds told me he had to relatch the backdoor it was sprung when it got hit by the wall of water. I don't really want to comment about the interior, wiring or ER until the marina manager gives me further updates. The area is a total mess 500 additional homes in Mystic off the canals on Radio Road were deemed uninhabital 2 days ago. I'm told Holgate (LEI) inlet is now 4 inlets and the Army Corp of Engineers is working on filling in and trying to restore the Federally protected area (this is the south end of Long Beach Island. Just an FYI about the state of my marina they have all kinds of utility safety issues that are popping up and they have brought additional people in from the other marinas they own.
They are not sure if they will be able to have a 2013 early boating season or even a real fully operational dock system for the larger boats for next summer. I really don't want it back if salvaged however I am not at that point yet. The marina's initial quick look they think there is a strong posability the boat will be a salvage loss but I should know more this weekend.
I'll report back hopefully over the weekend or by Monday.
Thanks guy's and gal's and my many friends concerned on BE.

LBI is opening tomorrow, Monday, without restrictions except for Holgate (southern tip) which has been trashed. I can see the "Katherine Baird" at Morrisons in Beach Haven but can't to begin to evaluate the damage, if any. The National Geodetic Survey was pleasantly prompt with arial photos of the Jersey and New York coasts.
Morrison's seems to have gotten their power back yesterday and their webcam came back on line. It need cleaning and focusing but its alive.

Bill, sorry to hear about the boat. People keep asking me about mine and all I say is, it is just a boat, I am alive, and I have 4 great years of great memories on the boat! Beyond that I am heart broken.
Hope you can reflect on the good times on your bad and put this behind you!
Here is Day 1 of Currentsea's turbulent life as a boat running alongside Wireless One! Started out as one of the happiest days of my life but ended poorly! We all remember that day.

Bill best of luck to you and your loved one. Our prayes are with you.
Thank you everyone. Dave that started out as a great day and spending sometime with you and Walter. I haven't heard a word I'm calling again today and visiting either today or tomorrow to find out what is going on. I know the marina's a wreck and real services were intermittant until mid last week. I do believe all off property boats and boats from LBI that ended up in our marina are all recovered. I need to get my claim moving!

LBI (NJ barrier island) is open but perhaps only to the next round of problems. Shelter Harbor and Morrisons (two marinas with which I deal) have had their electrical infrastructure destroyed. That is, no bubbler, no Ice Eaters, no engine block heaters, no battery charging (bilge pumps), no prognosis and a warning "move or lose". And its starting to get cold.
