 Cool north east winds,  low humidity, and a rough ocean- it looks and feels more like September than July.  Â
No complaints…I know the real July weather will be back by the weekend!

Cape May
 Cape May is known for its fine restaurants and colorful Victorian homes. The beach cabanas add to the charm, too.Â
A worthwhile day trip- Â just 20 minutes south on the Garden State Parkway.

Vacancies
The Catamaran slips south of 122nd Street should be filled by this point of the season.
Another sign of the times-Â almost 1/3 of the slips are empty.
Likewise, we have a larger than average supply of rental properties available for the next few weeks.
If you know anyone looking for a last minute vacation at the shore, please share this information:Â www.powerplayrealty.com
Thanks! ann@anndelaney.com

Water Sports
 Barrier Island:  surrounded by water on all sides. For a toddler from Colorado, that’s very exciting. Â
For those of us who live here and see the ocean every day, it’s fun to experience it through their eyes.  Â
Â
 Enthusiasm for an early morning kayaking trip in the back bay 🙂

Holiday Weekend
 We had the best seats for the fireworks last night- the balcony of a 2nd floor condo at the Anchorage (available as a summer rental – property ID 13557 on the Power Play web site).
Fun to watch the crowds, too!
This morning’s Islandman Triathlon was a huge success. 625+ participants of all ages swimming in the ocean, riding bikes, and running on the beach.  Impressive.
Race results available later today on line:Â www.timkerrcharities.org

Fourth of July
The island is especially crazy this morning- with the actual holiday falling on a change over Saturday.Â
Fireworks tonight in Avalon (30th Street) and Stone Harbor (80th Street). Â
Tomorrow in Avalon- the Islandman Triathlon will take over First Avenue and Avalon Avenue between 7 and 9 am – plan your Sunday morning routine accordingly. Â Volunteers will be on each street end to block all pedestrian and car traffic during the bike portion of the race.

Busy, busy…
 Family still in town, and the schedule is busy!
The ocean temperature is very warm for this time of year…even “Nan” is willing to go in!
Â
Â
 Last night, we made the annual visit to the Wildwood boardwalk. Once a year is enough for me… it’s a relief to cross back over the bridge to our more low key island 🙂
The boardwalk was packed- a good sign for tourism at the Jersey Shore.

Just Because…
 A sunny beach day- an abstract concept for most of June!
The ocean is warmish. I prefer it warmer-ish, but the kids seem happy.
Enjoy the weekend.

Sunday Sights
The weather changed as I walked this morning. The humid breeze from the south east switched to a hot and dry west wind.Â
Still a perfect morning to be on the beach…or out in the water fishing!
The ocean temperatures are back in the comfortable range – 72 degrees reported yesterday.
