After a Sunday evening rainshower, a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky. This view was captured from Avalon Boulevard looking toward Sea Isle City. The Spinnaker Condominiums are visible at the base of the rainbow.
FISH ON! The annual MidAtlantic Tournament was held last week, with 183 boats competing for over $4 million in prize money. A blue marlin weighing 815 pounds took first place in that category, winning $380,000 in prize money, barely beating the second place 803-pound blue marlin. A 195-pound tuna and 46-pound dolphin (mahi mahi) topped their respective categories. Sport fishing boats from up and down the east coast gather in Cape May, NJ and Ocean City, MD each year to battle each other during the week-long MidAtlantic Tournament.

OSPREYS HAVE FLEDGED! The Wetlands Institute has reported that all three young ospreys have fledged! This report appeared on their Facebook page: “After a few short, tentative flights just off the platform earlier this week, all three young have gotten adventurous–if not entirely graceful or completely confident. But now that they’ve had a taste of the air, there’s no going back!” The osprey population has rebounded in recent years thanks to conservation efforts. At this time of year ospreys can be observed in numerous locations around the island. Look for their nests atop elevated platforms in the back bay areas. There is a very visible nest adjacent to the south of Avalon Boulevard where it enters Avalon.
GET OUT ON THE WATER: SAIL ABOARD THE AJ MEERWALD! New Jersey’s official tall ship, the AJ Meerwald, is a restored 1928 oyster dredging schooner. The Meerwald usually spends time visiting and sailing from Atlantic City and Cape May each summer, but due to Covid the ship is sailing the Delaware Bay from its home port of Port Norris this summer. Morning, afternoon, and evening sails are available through September. Passengers may participate in sail handling, or sit back and relax!
