We arrived at the same anchorage in Barnegat Bay that we stayed in on the way up. It is in the town of Barnegat Light (population 764) - one of the many small beach towns along Long Beach Island on the Jersey shore.
Of course the first thing we did after anchoring was to take our patient pup into shore passing by this colorful fuel dock.
As we walked towards the dog park we were surprised to see when Barnegat Light was established.
This is the town where the dog park is locked and only open to residents. We thought we would take our chances and try to get in. Luckily we ran into one of the same women we met last time and she remembered us (or maybe it was Archie) and she welcomed us back. At first there were just three dogs in the park but before long there were several more. Archie was a happy camper! Everyone there was very friendly. We even met a young man from Miami Beach who was getting ready to move to Evanston where my sister lives!
While there, I spent some time on the phone with our friend Cathy whose mother is battling cancer. We were discussing when I could get away and fly to Charlotte to give her a hand with all that needed to be done for her mom.
The day was really hot and Jonny did the sensible thing by going for a swim before dinner - smart man! Afterwards he made a nice dinner of fish and summer squash on the grill. We had a quiet evening reading and making flight arrangements before going to bed early. The next day would be an even longer day of cruising as we make our way down the remaining Jersey coastline to Cape May.
