Busy weekend ahead!
Stone Harbor bulk trash pick up, AND the Savor September Wine FestivalÂ
Cross over the bridge for the Irish Festival in North Wildwood ;
or the vintage car display on the Wildwood boardwalk.
Wonderful fall weather forecasted, too 🙂
Nice crowd forming prior to the start of the Nuns’ Beach surf contest this morning. Â Love watching the little ones prepare.
The ocean was choppy when I walked before work- hopefully the waves improved for the event!
Reminder:
The popular Nuns’ Beach Surf Contest will be held Saturday morning, September 13th.
111th Street beach, Stone Harbor. Logo wear will also be available for sale.
For more information: Villa Maria by the Sea
The conditions were finally just right for ocean kayaking before work: Â calm wind, calm waves, and low tide.
I’ve taken a few painful spills over the years, so I am very cautious!
While paddling parallel with the beach, I saw dolphins way out in “the deep end”- too far for me to venture. Â Yet, because it was so quiet, I could hear their tails slapping against the water. Â Very cool!
I continued with my laps, and then watched as the dolphins headed my way. What an amazing experience – thrilling and intimidating at the same time! Â The dolphins are curious enough to swim next to and under the kayak (with the water so clear I could see one eye to eye!) Â They stayed near me for a several minutes before continuing their journey. Â What a wonderful way to start my day.
P.S. I tanked riding a wave back into shore…but it was SO worth it 😉
For house demolition and beach vehicle permits!
An interesting tear down scenario: Ocean front home on 120th Street, Stone Harbor. Â Constructed in 2001. Â Purchased in February for $4,116,667, and new owner is prepping the house for demolition. Â 60′ X 110′ lot.
If you will be in town on Saturday, September 6th, help celebrate the Borough of Stone Harbor Centennial  with events at the 80th Street recreation field.

Live music, a parade, a lobster bake, and fireworks!
My early morning walk is now in sync with the sunrise.  Not ready for the shorter days…but appreciate the beautiful view.
