'We started that process over the winter. But of course, Mother Nature hasn't been on our side. So it's just delayed on and delayed on and delayed us. Coast Guard comes in and they inspect the work as it's being done. And hopefully here this coming up week, we should be launching,' Sedney told us.
Sedney said the Coast Guard will do one more inspection when the boat goes in the water. Once that's done, they'll be back in business.

Hurricane Erin to Menace US East Coast Beaches Into the Weekend
Hurricane Erin is triggering dangerous beach conditions across much of the US East Coast that will likely last into the weekend, as the storm pushes north in the waning days of the summer travel season. The risk of powerful currents that can sweep strong swimmers out to sea is forecast to reach high levels by Friday at popular vacation destinations, including Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket in Massachusetts, the Hamptons on Long Island and Delaware's Rehoboth Beach.
