Perseid Meteor Shower Paddle:
The legendary Perseid meteor shower will peak in the next few days. Plans
are to paddle from Jeffers Landing (about 7:15) and paddle/float the very
dark sections of the lower tidal Great Egg Harbor River. High tide is about
6:15pm. Sunset is about 8pm. Return about 10:30? Ideally, the best viewing is early morning (after midnight). Never know how productive the show will be. For those who want a great observation point without paddling, the road thru the salt marsh toward English Creek Marina is a great spot to view the sky. Marsh mosquitoes can be a problem. Interested?
