  • High Tide

    The main event with Earl was the wild Atlantic Ocean.  This picture was taken at high tide in Stone Harbor.

    I posted another video showing the ocean/beach at high tide: http://www.youtube.com/user/AnnDelaneyBeach

    The life guards reported for duty today- to keep swimmers OUT of the ocean.  Because of the tide, most were forced to move their stands to the beach paths… or, in this case, to the private sitting area for Villa Maria by the Sea retreat house- while guarding “Nun’s Beach”.

    It’s now almost 5pm, and the sun is out.  Ready for a great Labor Day weekend  🙂

  • Video of Ocean/Beach

    Mainly overcast and some light rain so far this morning.  The ocean is very rough, and the local police have closed the beaches for swimming (common sense).  Posted a video from my morning beach walk to You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/user/AnnDelaneyBeach

    Will post weather updates here and on Twitter.

    Friday 2:30pm   Off and on rain showers and gusts of wind.  High tide  at 3:30pm- no flooding expected, but with the rough ocean, there may be some beach erosion.  Traffic coming on to the island for the Labor Day Weekend.

  • Sunday Sights

    Surfers, paddle boarders, and kayaks were WAY out in the ocean this morning catching a bonus set of big waves.  

    The Stone Harbor Lion’s Club 10K, 5K, and 2 Mile Race- the young men and women of the United States Coast Guard are regular participants…and the spectators show their appreciation with applause and cheers along the way.
