I know I've not posted anything lately. I don't know where my blogging mojo went. Recently, I went on a sunset cruise off Barnegat Light, Long Beach Island, on the "Miss Barnegat Light." I took lots of photos - it was a beautiful evening. The water was warm(ish) at 73F and the breeze kept things cool.
The boat left from the "Viking Fishing Village."
Barnegat Lighthouse, was built by George Meade, a Civil War General for the north. Barnegat Light was commissioned on January 1, 1859.
Later, all the little kids (and me) would get to drive the boat!
But first we motored out of the bay, past the lighthouse.
The other "aid to navigation," the town water tower, probably doesn't aid navigation nearly as much as the lighthouse!
A cooling breeze helped the "blow boat" stay abreast of us.
Ah... relaxation in a New York minute.
Taking the turn into the inlet to head out into the ocean.
We saw a pod of Porpoise and a big school of bait fish being chased by ... something in the deep. I had "Charlie-Problems" and couldn't get a good shot of the porpoise. I have 6 photos of the empty sea where these swimming mammals ... eluded me. The sunset wasn't much to get excited about - but...
...recently, they re-lit the old lighthouse, and seeing the light was a thrill!
