  • Wires Down

    A reminder to Avalon and Stone Harbor property owners: there are many cable and phone wires down from the February ice/snow storm.  Comcast and Verizon may be waiting to hear from the home owner before making the repairs.

  • Sunday Sun/Snow

    sunsnowTemperatures close to the 40’s inspired a walk on the beach this morning.  Snow flurries competed with the sun breaking through the clouds.

    Cure for cabin fever?  Come to the shore and book your summer rental!

  • Thoughts of Hawaii

    HawaiiDuring our vacation in Hawaii last September, we noticed the “Tsunami Evacuation Area” signs and the poles with warning sirens along the coastal roads. 

    We also saw a memorial on the Big Island for a small village and school devastated by a tsunami. 

    As fellow island residents, we respect the power of the ocean- yet can’t imagine this particular event.   It must be especially frightening for the tourists on the islands.

    P.S.  Reading first person accounts of preparations on the islands via   www.twitter.com      Interesting to hear from those on vacation.

    Saturday- 7 pm-  A related comment about the evacuation and warnings in Hawaii:   It’s their tourist season, and the emergency management people were prepared for the worst.   Here at the Jersey Shore, a rare late summer hurricane warning has to be treated with the same level of caution.  The safety of our vacationers and home owners comes first.

  • A Break from Reality

    AvalonpierThe summer rental business provides an opportunity to focus on the warmer months at the shore.  I appreciate the break from reality and the opportunity to help so many families with their vacation plans.

    This morning, the birds are chirping amid the snow flurries…it’s just wrong!

  • Blue Lightning

    Last night, we saw the familiar flash of “blue”, and heard the snap, crackle, pop of a nearby transformer.  The town fire siren went off…and so did our electric.

    Fortunately, power was restored after a few hours.  This morning- the only way to describe the weather is UGLY.   Sustained high winds with freight train like gusts.  Snow blowing sideways from bay to beach.  Not huge amounts of snow, but it’s still coming down and drifting.

    This certainly has been a memorable February at the shore!

  • Storm Preparation

    stormprepHow to prepare for yet ANOTHER snow storm at the shore? 

    I saw 3 surfers taking advantage of the waves (that faint dot on the right hand side of the photo is a surfer).

    And I enjoyed a long walk on the beach while the sun faded behind the incoming clouds.
