Joe Ruyak captured this beautiful, peaceful scene along the Delaware Bay. What a great spot to enjoy a magnificent sunset!
JULY 4TH WEEKEND was a great one here on the island. Good beach weather helped, and residents and visitors alike enjoyed swimming, surfing, fishing and boating, and other outdoor activities, along with family barbeques or outdoor dining.
MONDAY’S WEATHER began with typical hazy, hot, and humid summer conditions, followed by an afternoon seabreeze. Suddenly, severe weather warnings were broadcast locally and via media, as multiple approaching thunderstorms caused a very strong southerly winds to fill in. After a brief period the wind went calm, then abruptly shifted to the north, blowing with even more force than before. As thunder and lightning approached, severe winds blew loose objects like deck chairs, umbrellas, and paddleboards. Stone Harbor’s kayak racks at the Municipal Marina were blown over. A video of a brief water spout just off the beach is here: https://www.youtube.com/
WHALE ENCOUNTERS: Numerous whale sightings have been reported by boaters this year, and some have been seen very close to shore. Some offshore fisherman had a surprise encounter with a whale that bumped their 26-foot boat as it surfaced. Here’s a video clip: https://www.app.com/
THANKS FOR 28 GREAT YEARS, JACQUI! After 28 years of faithful service, Jacqui Arnold has retired from her spot at the reception desk in our Avalon office, completing her last shift on Monday. During her tenure, Jacqui greeted thousands of clients on the phone and in person, coordinated rental check-ins each week of the summer, and helped our office run smoothly in so many ways! We miss Jacqui already, but wish her the very best as she enjoys the next chapter in her life! Thanks, Jacqui!
KEEP WATCHING FOR TURTLES! As they near the end of their annual egg laying, turtles continue to cross local roads to reach high ground. Give ’em a brake! If you’re inclined to help a turtle across the road, always move it in the same direction it was crossing. Please make sure it’s safe to do so, and never put yourself at risk!
LAST MINUTE GETAWAY? OR PERMANENT ESCAPE? Either way, I’m here to help! Whether you need a week at the beach, or a more permanent escape, we’ve got something for you. Call or email me with your needs, and I’ll help find you the right place!
