Cruising past Atlantic City, we recalled the many times we had anchored there. But on this day we had a chance to double our distance, and so we did.
Archie did very well today. It might be because we got him to take his CBD earlier than the day before!
We had a wonderful surprise passing schools of light brown rays all heading south. There must have been literally thousands of them swimming past our boat! We looked them up and they are called Cownose rays. It went on for miles and it was very cool!
We saw lots of dolphins as well, but they didn’t come as close to us as the rays did.
As we entered the Barnegat Bay Inlet, we passed its imposing lighthouse.
There were two places to anchor and we chose the one that mentioned a dinghy dock in the review on Active Captain. We were very close to a large fleet of fishing boats.
We dropped the anchor and loaded Archie into the dinghy. After a couple of attempts we finally found the place to tie up and took him for a walk. The town of Barnegat Light is very neat and clean and has many lovely well-kept homes.
It was very fortunate that we just happened upon a large dog park with two dogs playing inside. We went to go in but the park required a fob as it was only open to residents. We were able to persuade the two women inside to let us in as we were just passing through. Needless to say, Archie was in heaven and we were very happy for him to have a chance to run free and play and wrestle with other dogs, all of which he loves to do.
Upon returning to Zendo, we did our usual wine and cheese routine watching the PBS News Hour and telephoning family. Jonny prepared a delicious dinner on the grill - drumfish, purchased at the fish market the day before, and asparagus.
We had a relaxing evening afterwards after some intensive trip planning discussions. Tomorrow we head to Coney Island.
