Yesterday morning, Wendy and I went on a guided kayak tour of New Jersey's Barnegat Bay and Sedge Islands.  We paddled around in a few feet of water and stopped off at a few sandbars and marsh islands, while an off-duty teacher and a park ranger told us about the various marine life and history of the area.
