Out of cellars and sheds and hideaways they arrived this past weekend: iceboats on the Toms River. For almost a decade, conditions here proved too warm for this Brigadoon-like sport, making the white winter sails even more special to see from the shores of Pine Beach, Island Heights and Toms River. Among those enjoying the ice and wind were the Hess and Krajewski families and friends, seen in the photos and videos here. To mark the special occasion of this winter sailing sport returning to the Toms River, the Barnegat Bay Maritime Museum is also going to release a limited run of shirts with a graphic created from the photo above, taken this past weekend. If interested, send an email to [email protected] and let us know sizes and number of shirts to be added to a presale email list. Feel free to please forward this email to anyone else who may be interested as well! Also on the ice this weekend was local drone videographer, Kevin Doherty, who put together a nice compilation of iceboating in his video found here on Facebook. Thanks, Kevin! Island Heights resident Ted Nordheimer also snagged a "painterly" view of an iceboat and lone watcher from his perch at the northern river shoreline. Thanks, Ted! Open Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays - 10 am to 2 pm
