FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS! Saturday night’s Festival of Lights boat parade had dozens of decorated boats parading along Stone Harbor’s entire bayfront on a beautiful moonlit evening, in front of decorated docks and cheering crowds. This year’s theme was “Broadway,” with participants including Grease, Frozen, Blue Man Group, Cats, Aladdin and more. A gentle breeze made for a perfect evening!
Dozens of boats paraded along the bayfront during Stone Harbor’s Festival of Lights last weekend.
DR. STEWART FARRELL reported to Avalon officials last week that north-end beaches grew during the March-May quarter, thanks to minimal storm activity. Farrell estimated that about 34,000 cubic yards of sand were added to the beach by southeast winds during that time, supplementing sand added during the borough’s sand backpassing project.
TWO BIG COBIA were caught in local waters, and may be new state records. A 90-pound cobia was hooked off Cape May and fought for an hour-and-a-half by angler Len Andalis. Joe Cunningham caught a 74-pound cobia while spearfishing off Sea Isle City. Both fish must be certified by the Division of Fish & Wildlife before becoming official state records. Warm water from the Gulfstream increases the variety of fish caught in nearby waters during the mid- to late-summer.
CAPE MAY COUNTY’S new flood risk mapping system is designed to provide the public with a way to assess the potential impact of a flooding event on their neighborhood. Martin Pagliughi, Mayor of Avalon and also Cape May County’s Emergency Management Director, said the system will provide exactly what homeowners want to know: “How may it affect my property and neighborhood,” allowing people to make educated decisions prior to potential flooding. The system can be found here: https://cmcgis.maps.
