The Barnegat Recreation Department’s disability advisory board plans a “Day on the Bay” on Sunday, July 28, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Sherer’s Boat Basin. Board member Walt Fernandez said the event provides free boat rides for children and adults with special needs.

“Many people with disabilities don’t often get a chance to go out in the water and enjoy a nice summer day,” he said. “I’m very pleased when I see the smiles on the faces of the people going out on the boats.
