What better way to spend a Saturday but on the ocean and celebrate Earth Day! As part of the celebration, each adventurer on the Jersey Girl receive a whale watching t shirt. It was a large group of adventures, ready for an exciting time. Most people had not seen a whale before even though they tried in place like California and Hawaii. Well, that changed today!
We exited the inlet and headed north. Passed Asbury Park, Deal, Long Branch, Sea Bright and onto Sandy Hook. Along the way, saw some dolphins and slowed to watch them for awhile. Also saw some type of kite demonstration/competition. The best part was yet to come: there was a spout. Didn’t get to see it’s flukes but the entire boat got to see this whale. as many times when we thought he would surface in one area, he was in a different area. So if you were in the front, back, right or left, it didn’t matter! Eventually, it was time to leave our whale as we waved good bye or should I say, until next time! On the way back to port, saw more dolphins who then enjoyed riding the waves at the back of the boat. Had 2 birthday celebrations on board today! Such a great day at the Jersey Shore on the Jersey Girl
