Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update June 9, 2022

June 9, 2022 By Bill and Kay Leahy


“Avalon Gold!” said Mac Groce, who captured this beautiful Avalon sunset shot.  We couldn’t agree more, Mac!  Thanks for sharing!
STONE HARBOR’S BEACH PATROL BUILDING is progressing, and a temporary certificate of occupancy is expected in mid-June.  Material delays have slowed progress.
The Stone Harbor Beach Patrol building is nearing completion.  This February photo shows construction in progress.  In the background is the Pebbles Guest House, currently undergoing renovation.
RESTAURANT WEEK in Cape May takes place now through June 12th.  More than twenty restaurants are participating with a variety of special menu items.  Find info here: https://www.cmrestaurantweek.com/
Wildwood Restaurant Week takes place June 12th through 16th, with several dozen restaurants participating.  Check them out here: https://www.chewwildwood.com/
Of course, there’s no need to leave Seven Mile Island to find great restaurants!  From cheeseburgers to caviar, our huge variety of local restaurants will satisfy any palate!
THE US COAST GUARD is always standing by to assist boaters in distress, but this past week was an especially busy one for local Coast Guard crews.  In the past several days crews assisted a small vessel in distress; received a call about a 12-foot great white shark a mile off the Sea Isle beach; responded to assist a 26-foot vessel taking on water in Delaware Bay; and responded to a vessel with a fouled anchor and taking on water near Hereford Inlet in 6-8 foot seas.  Good weather or bad, Coast Guard vessels, helicopters, and their crews are ready!
TURTLE TIME!  It’s egg laying season for local diamondback terrapins, and they’re often seen crossing local roadways, seeking high ground.  Protective turtle barriers along many roadways help prevent turtles from meeting their demise on the asphalt, but keep an eye open and slow down when they’re crossing.  If you’re inclined to help the turtle cross the road, move it in the direction it was originally travelling, and please, take all necessary steps to ensure your own safety on the roadway.
THIRTY-YEAR MORTGAGE RATES fell to an average of 5.1% for the week ending May 26, from 5.3% two weeks earlier.  (Source: Wells Fargo/Freddie Mac)  If you’re planning a property purchase the recent rate dip may be a good time to lock in your mortgage rate.
