Still in New Jersey… We decided to take the New Jersey ICW
today instead of going outside… BIG mistake.
After doing some research about the condition of the waterway after
Hurricane Sandy it seemed doable. Nobody mentioned the thousands of horseflies’
in the Jersey swamps!!! We were inundated
by hundreds of biting green headed flies… Tamera thought she had joined a
tennis team with all the swatting she was doing. After being bitten more times than
I can count on the six mile journey we broke out to the open sea at Brigantine
Inlet. The NJICW was plenty deep and
wide but the flies were not tolerable.

After pushing on for 40 miles or so we
arrived at Barneget Inlet and spent the night at High Bar Harbor Yacht Club
where we enjoyed the afternoon sun and a dip in the pool.
