  • Counting Down

    Hello Spring?  I put my hat, gloves, and fleece jacket away…only to take them out again for recent beach walks.  The temperature is not too bad today, yet the wind is brutal.  Only 32 days until Memorial Day weekend 🙂

  • Avalon Beach Update

    Yesterday’s beach walk (in the mist) provided another opportunity to check on the condition of our north end beaches.  Overall, the sand added during the January beach fill is holding on.  There were crews actively working to complete the repairs on the dunes and beach entrances.

    Pictured below:  23rd Street looking north, 12th Street looking north (with equipment), and 8th Street beach adjacent to the jetty.

    Sharing 2 pictures:

    Spotted this wall hanging in a home the other day- charming!

    A gray day at the beach- yet even a “black and white” ocean view is appreciated.

  • Tuesday Beach Fill Update

    The dredge is in position, and workers are attaching the pipes that will eventually pump sand on the Stone Harbor beach.  It’s a fascinating process to watch- will post location updates once the active pumping begins.

    Pictures taken this morning show dredge in the inlet (far left), and the main connector (with a filter cage) adjacent to the jetty in the south end.PipePointpipe

  • Stone Harbor News

    Received a r0b0-call yesterday from the Borough of Stone Harbor regarding the Bank of America building on the corner of 96th and Second Avenue.  The structure is scheduled to be demolished in the next few weeks to make way for the new library.

    In the off season, such structures are occasionally donated to fire/law enforcement departments for skills practice.  Tonight (and next Thursday night), the Cape May County SWAT team will be at the bank for a practice drill.

    Just a heads up if you are driving into town and see the activity!

  • Dolphin Show

    The dolphins must be as excited about the warmer weather as the rest of us.  That could explain the entertaining “shows” I have seen on recent beach walks- including wave riding and high jumps.

    I ooh and aah, and pick up my pace if heading in the same direction.   Maybe they hear me singing along to my iPod…and are saying hello??   😉
