It’s still July, but the “dog days” of summer seem to have arrived. It was lazy, hazy, but not too crazy Monday night on Barnegat Bay, with a sunset that snuck behind a low cloud layer strategically before the “official” sunset time. Still, there are always some cool sites to explore on a hazy night with the sun hiding in the background, and we hope you enjoy our short video tour above.
