The bonus of stormy weather? Amazing views.
Sunset picture taken Tuesday evening; the sunrise pictures (surrounded by blowing sand and ocean foam!) Wednesday morning.
No walk this morning- wimped out with the heavy rain 😉

October Summer, continued
Talked  with several summer neighbors yesterday. We are all grateful for this amazing stretch of weather, and “working hard” to take advantage…knowing that cold temperatures will eventually arrive.
Every time I rinse off my beach chair or kayak, I wonder if it’s the last use for 2013? Â And then I hurry out again the next day (often bright and early before work) to fit in one more activity!
Yesterday’s adventures included a paddle around Stone Harbor Point (yes, that’s North Wildwood across the inlet). Â The ocean was calm…and warm!

October Summer
Taking advantage of this amazing weather.
On my day off yesterday, I kayaked in the bay, took a walk, and spent some quality time in my beach chair 😉 Â This morning, I kayaked in the ocean before work.
Oh…the burdens of living at the shore!

Sand Sculpture
Without tractor grooming…or foot traffic…the wind has the freedom to make patterns in the sand.

Mortgage Interest Rates
Mortgage loans are classified as conventional (less than $417,000) and jumbo (loans above $417,000). Â In the past, interest rates for jumbo loans were higher than those for conventional mortgages.
Now, lenders are advertising rates 1/4 to 1/2 percent lower for jumbo loans.
Another nice boost for the shore real estate market.
If you would like to talk to an area mortgage representative regarding a purchase or re-finance, I am happy to provide recommendations.

Shifting Sand
Okay, it’s official…I miss the sun!  This Nor’easter is not only inconvenient (canceling Columbus Day weekend events) , it’s also causing sand shifting along our beach front.  I posted pictures yesterday, and again this morning on Twitter (see link on right hand side of the page).
I was up early, and able to walk before the rain.  The wind was blowing me, and the sand down the beach.  Stone Harbor Point will likely extend a few more feet into the inlet  after the weekend!
