Day 10, 11 & 12 Toms River, NJ


We stayed on Toms River at Island Heights for 3 nights waiting out the storms. Sat. night we had a tornado watch, latter in the night we had a good rain. We got a lot of walking in around the town. We were on a free dock and the people in the town were very friendly. We found a great little deli and they even served breakfast one block away. We also walked to the main street about a mile away and got a few provisions. Today is sun. and we have moved nearer to the inlet at Manasquan for our trip to New York City area. We are planning to stop in the Jersey Highlands for a few days and maybe one day we will visit the city and the Statue of Liberty. We are going to pick up our grandson Bobby on sat. The ocean part of our trip is around 30 miles and the waves are supposed to be 1-2 ft. on Mon. Here is a picture of the boat at Island Heights.

Glad to see that you have safely made it through most of the NJ ICW. We have spent the last week in Chesapeake City on the C & D Canal for daughter's graduation at Univ. of DE. Leaving today for Annapolis. Weather looks beautiful. Hope it is the same for you. Good luck on your run to the Highlands. Tom and Jan
