6/16-7/3 Somers Point, NJ, and I really cant believe we’re in Jersey. It's quite beautiful here, and our back yard is the intra coastal waterway. Paddling in Ocean City has been a lot of fun, and very educational. Despite a wall of humanity on the beaches, very stinky jet skis and HUGE yachts, we’ve managed to find a niche and good time. The surf has treated us well and we were able to paddle a regatta/ecotour in Cape May. We made new buddies from the Coast Guard, (where else--in the beer tent) (No no no, they didn’t have to rescue us!) We’ve been studying our ABC’s of the Surf Zone, and with the practice we have gotten much more comfortable with surf in the 2 to 4 foot range. We’ve both had some great rides and a few tumbles. (Now I know what that low brace is all about!) The people on the Jersey Shore are great, the food is awesome, but it’s very crowded, especially over the 4th.
