Watch: Sailing Into the Sunset Tuesday Night; Rain, Wind on the Way This Weekend

With sunset occurring much earlier these days, a silver lining is our ability to sneak in a quick ride on the water before covering a government meeting of some sort (Tuesday night’s assignment was Brick Township council).

Mother Nature didn’t disappoint, with spectacular views of the setting sun seen from all corners of the local waterways, and a pleasing show put on by many of the colorful boats of the Metedeconk River Yacht Club, which were out for a sunset sail.

Sunny, but cool, weather is expected for the remainder of the week, according to the National Weather Service.
