Away We Go On a Long Tow Through New York Inlet Waters
Reporter Jim Bishop recounts a voyage aboard the Away We Go from Sandy Hook to Sea Bright. A submerged pipe caused a hard thump on the prop, forcing the crew to limp to marinas and endure delays while seeking emergency repairs and spare parts. The journey includes encounters with coast guard, police, and boatyards, ending with a note on nylon rope near the propeller shaft and a 1959 King Features Syndicate copyright.
