We had a beautiful warm, sunny morning, with no wind. There was cloud cover in the afternoon and we drove home in the rain. After driving around the Shark River Estuary and lunch at Klein’s Seafood Restaurant, we went to where the Shark River empties into the Ocean and then on to Silver Lake, Lake Como, Spring Lake and Wreck Pond.
