The fluke fishing tournament in Point Pleasant this weekend has filled the local marinas. We were lucky to find a slip at Hoffman’s in nearby Manasquan. Strategically located near the inlet opening we’ll need to motor less than 5 minutes in the morning to access the outside.
Today’s trek began on the ocean side but after 30 minutes of what warned rough seas the captain headed back to Atlantic City for a go at New Jersey’s Intracoastal route. I didn’t even know we had another option! And what a delightful option it was. No chop, a cool breeze, and bright sun. This was a 60 mile day of action packed water, lined with well loved homes.
Safe and beautiful, with a brief horse fly infusion, the day ended late…too late for any local exploring. A shame because Point Pleasant’s beach and boardwalk were described as ‘must see.’ We stayed in tonight, dining on cooked-to-perfection pork chops and fresh grilled vegetables.
Tomorrow: Lady Liberty!
