Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update October 8, 2020

October 8, 2020 By Bill and Kay Leahy


Clear skies in Avalon & Stone Harbor made the beach a perfect location from which to watch an Antares rocket launch last Friday evening.  Four thirty-second exposures show the trajectory of the rocket as it made its way into orbit.  The launch took place at NASA’s Wallops Island, Virginia flight facility, about 100 miles south of the Avalon Fishing Pier.  On Monday the rocket delivered its 8,000-pound cargo to the International Space Station–about 250 miles above Earth!

OUR FALL WEATHER HAS BEEN GLORIOUS!  Daytime temperatures in the 70s have combined with gentle breezes and plenty of sunshine to make near-perfect days.  Evening temperatures have been ranged from cool to chilly–perfect for open-window sleeping or even a fireplace!

BEACH MOVIES ARE BACK this October, with a pair of family movies on the schedule this month.  On Sunday, October 11th catch The Addams Family, followed by Ghostbusters on Saturday, October 17th.  Movies begin at 7pm on the 30th Street beach.  Bring your beach chair or blanket, and dress warm!

IT’S TIME FOR DUNE GRASS PLANTING AGAIN!  Avalon is seeking volunteers to help plant dune grass to protect and preserve the dune system, which are instrumental in protecting the island during storms.  Volunteers should report outside Avalon Community Hall at 8:30am on Saturday, October 24th (please wear a mask).  A brief planting demonstration will be provided.  Please RSVP to Chuck McDonnell at 609-967-3066 or Sue Keen at 609-967-5924 to sign up.  In the event of rain, the planting will be postponed to Sunday, October 25th.

JUST HOW BUSY are the islands this fall, compared to a typical season?  This anecdote from a Sea Isle restaurant tells the story…according to an employee, the number of weeknight dinners served is three to four times higher than normal weeknights.  While that’s still nowhere near as busy as a summer evening, local merchants are glad to have the extra traffic at this time of year, which helps to make up for revenue lost in the spring.  Many restaurants and shops hope to stay open as long as they remain busy!

OCEAN WIND VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSES will be provided by Orsted, the firm handling the Ocean Wind project.  Register for one of three virtual open houses, held on October 20th (1pm), October 21st (6pm), and October 24th (10am), and learn about the environmental, technical, and economic aspects of wind farms from the experts themselves.  To register visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ocean-wind-virtual-open-houses-tickets-121412535161?fbclid=IwAR1eoBdN7ajl4o3vX7mI2wbUcJEKgTRadAEr2Lw_XZeKr9XEMSAClyr–gE
