Reply to comment by metsurf in Seals at Sandy Hook by stevozac

Pretty sure the sharks migrate to water that’s near 70f or warmer. So by the time the water is that warm, the seals are long gone north.

I hope….

My father grew up there, my Irish immigrant grandfather tended the famous Laura Harding's horses for 20 years on what is now Bayonet Farms, her best friend was Katherine Hepburn and my dad would take them for carriage rides when he was a teen.

When my dad was a kid they lived next to the kennels at Brookdale farms, now the college and Thompson Park. Ok ok, some of that is officially Holmdel and western Lincroft, but we considered the area Colts Neck/Holmdel.

As a kid I fantasized that Ms Harding would leave us a million dollars in her will, I was a dumb kid!

The great whites should be not too far off the beach . Those beautiful seals are yummy fat balls to sharks.

Who knows, maybe they are parking some oversized vehicle on their tiny driveway and need 3 feet to the side of where the driveway meets the street. Best thing would be for some yellow paint approved by the town marking where your car can't be parked on the street.
