Cedar Island Swim, Avalon
Update: Â A fun drone video of the 2017 race- click here
Sunday, August 27th is the annual Cedar Island 5K Swim. Â The race starts at 12:40pm at the Avalon Yacht Club. Â Swimmers head south along the main channel before turning east along the 20th Street waterway, and then north along Ocean Drive and back to the Yacht Club.
Cheer for the swimmers along the way. Â I will be in my red kayak as a volunteer (trying to keep up with the swimmers!)
On the following Sunday, September 3rd, the annual Tim Kerr 7 Mile Island Run and 5K Run/Walk  takes place at 8:30am.

Under the Bridge
At just the right mid-tide, Â I can take a short cut to the other basin with my kayak!
The fairy tale of “Three Billy Goats Gruff” with the troll under the bridge comes to mind each time 😉

Well, hello!
The tides are a bit higher today- allowing a closer view of the osprey nest while kayaking this morning.
They didn’t seemed pleased! 😉

Back in the saddle again…
It’s been almost a full year since I hurt my back, and 7 months since surgery. Â Finally feeling strong enough to paddle around the bay!
So happy to see these views, again 🙂
Another motivation is to participate as a volunteer for the annual Cedar Island 5K Swim on August 27th. The swimmers certainly work harder than me, but it’s still a workout to kayak around Cedar Island as part of the support crew.
See you on the water!

Work Commute
Which is more stressful- the Schuylkill Expressway at rush hour…or Dune Drive on 4th of July weekend?
Stay alert for:
The woman leaving the Sunday Farmer’s Market carrying her haul of bacon on a stick.
Bike riders juggling their oversized purchases from Hoy’s.
The late arrivals to Boot Camp at the 81st Street rec area.
Oh no…church is letting out!
The sudden car stops for family drop off at Uncle Bill’s.
The Tour de France trainees exceeding the 25 mph speed limit.
Whew…I found a parking spot near my office- I feel like I won the video game 😉
P.S. Â Monday 7/3/17- Today I drove on Ocean Drive to work- only hazards were the speedy turtles crossing the road!

Summer Birds
Oystercatchers
Recently, I noticed that my year round beach friends are not as skittish when I walk by.
In contrast, the seagulls will practically dare you to trip over them- forcing walkers to move out of THEIR way!
Maybe the oystercatchers are following their lead 🙂
