Barnegat Bay..............................from K

Barnegat Bay. I just love to say these words. Try it - the alliteration gets stuck in your head and you'll find that you'll be saying Barnegat Bay all day. I think CS&N even used Barnegat Bay in a song. We're actually just inside the inlet so we can pull out on our way to Manasquan Inlet. P would like to stay another day and dinghy in to the little village next to the lighthouse, but the winds and tides are beckoning us on. This is a shot of the Barnegat Bay Beaches. I keep reminding him that we'll be coming back this way with time to explore. Despite my pushing, we're moving slowly up the NJ coast seeking anchorage midafternoons because we're always dodging storms. Yesterday, we sailed a 180 when we saw black, ugly clouds ahead and sailed in circles until they moved out to the NE. We take full advantage of having no schedule. I love being on the ocean -- no crab pots and a steady breeze! We're hoping to go through NY this week, so stay tuned...the fun is just beginning.
