7:16am Sunrise
While I am enjoying the pink sky at dawn and photographing the sunrise…the time change will definitely help with my morning beach walks.
I prefer to leave the house in daylight so that I have a clear view of any roaming skunks!

A Different Perspective
I know I’m fortunate to walk the beach and kayak in the back bay on a regular basis, yet there’s also a “work” aspect to my activities.
What better way to appreciate a water front location than from the water?!

Chill in the Air
The first cold snap of the season is a reminder for all of us to:
1) close crawl space vents (to prevent cold air from circulating under the house and freezing the pipes)
2) turn off and drain the outside shower and faucets
3) remove hoses from the frost free faucets
4) turn the heat on low if you are not completely winterizing the inside pipes
5) open the cabinet doors under all sinks to allow warm air to flow around the pipes
6) turn off the main water valve if possible to minimize damage in the event of a leak
7) turn off the water valves to the washer
8) unplug small appliances
9) lock all windows and doors- and secure storm doors and outside shower doors so they don’t blow open in the wind
If you are unable to check on your shore house on a regular basis, I recommend a winter watch service to provide peace of mind. Â Happy to provide contact info for reliable inspectors.

Beach Report
Late yesterday, I walked the beach in Avalon from my office (28th Street), north to the jetty.
I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of damage from last week’s storm (see the 2 pictures below).
The sand added  during the recent replenishment (25th Street and north) provided a great buffer for the waves.  From 25th to 28th Streets, there are signs that the dunes were battered by the waves, yet the established dunes remain intact.
In Stone Harbor, the beaches experienced some erosion in the areas from 106th to 111th Street , as well as in the very south end near the Catamaran beach.  The Borough is working on smoothing the paths to allow safe access down to the beach.
