Kayaking Tour

By ann

MSHad company for kayaking today.  My nephew and I were a bit chilly, so thankfully we both stayed dry! 

Great weather (although the sea breeze is keeping temperatures cool) and the island is busy.  Should be a perfect spring weekend.  Enjoy!

Kayaking 2 Beach?

By ann

37thbeachpathNew business opportunity- kayak rentals at beach path entrances. 

This is the 37th Street beach path in Avalon.  Crews with pumps were working on the 38th and 39th Street paths.  Saw Borough employees at the 44th Street beach path the other day.

An incredible amount of water with no where to go!

High Tide

By ann

hightideThe rain is STILL coming down, and some minor tidal flooding along the back bay.  All of this will be quickly forgotten if the warm weather arrives as predicted.

Noticed yesterday that the center islands and dunes have suddenly turned GREEN.  A positive side effect of the wet winter!

Also noticed lights on and workers inside various businesses around town in preparation of Easter weekend.  Will continue to post the season openings on Twitter:  http://twitter.com/AnnDelaneyBeach

Rainy Monday :(

By ann

flowersThe spring flowers will either thrive or drown after all of this rain!

The good news?  A huge improvement of our weather is expected just in time for the holiday weekend.   Temperatures may even reach 70 by the end of the week!

Bridges to Cross

By ann

NWbridgeSunday is the 12th annual Ocean Drive Marathon.  The race starts at 9am in Cape May, and 8 bridges later, ends in Sea Isle City.  Whew! 

 

 

 

 

SICbridge

The inlet next to the final bridge may even provide free showers for the participants  😉

For race results and info: www.odmarathon.org

 

Update: A sunny Sunday morning with winds from the ESE 18- 22 mph.  This will give the runners a bit of a push in some sections.  Overall, a decent day (considering it’s March!) for the race.

Earth Hour

By ann

earthhour Tonight at 8:30pm, we are asked to turn out our lights for 1 hour for a global event- Earth Hour https://www.myearthhour.org/

Stone Harbor and sections of Cape May Court House are participating early- electric service went out just before 5am due to an accident in Middle Township.  Service is expected to be restored by mid-day.  No problems in Avalon.

Update:  It’s 8:45pm and sure enough, our street is mostly dark.  Oh, wait…we’re surrounded by summer homes!

Borough Workers

By ann

beachstepsThank you to the Borough workers.  They finally removed the fence that blocked the steps to “my” beach path.

Many local beach access paths were closed for safety reasons due to storm erosion, forcing the determined walkers (like me) to climb over the side railings to get to the beach…not the most graceful look!

Dune path repair work is underway in both Avalon and Stone Harbor.  Happy beach walking…
