Blue skies and a gentle breeze on a warm day…perfect conditions for sailing in October!
IT WAS GLORIOUS this past week! We were treated to several days of warm sunshine, clear skies, and gentle breezes—a real October treat after a number of rainy, windy weekends. The unseasonably warm weather came to an end Monday afternoon as a cold front came through, dropping daytime highs into the 50s, making it feel like fall. By the weekend we could be back into the 60s again.
THINGS THAT AREN’T THERE ANY MORE: Those who enter Cape May County via the Garden State Parkway bridge over Great Egg Harbor Bay will notice a huge change in the view on their next trip. The iconic BL England Generating Station stands no more; the smoke stack was demolished last Thursday. In a matter of seconds the tower fell to the ground amid a cloud of dust. The large cooling tower and the main structure of the plant had been previously removed. The former plant is seen above in this October 2016 view.
HELP FIRST RESPONDERS find you in the event of an emergency at your house—make sure your house numbers are clearly visible from the street! House numbers should be large, and of an easy-to-read font, and easily seen from the street. Make sure flowers, shrubbery, or other landscaping are not obscuring them!
FERRY HOSTS 50,000,000TH PASSENGER! That’s not a typo! Passenger number 50,000,000 sailed aboard the Cape May-Lewes Ferry earlier this month, crossing from Cape May to Delaware. Zach Kaltenbach and his family are regular ferry passengers crossing the Bay regularly to visit Zach’s parents in Cape May. The Kaltenbachs were given free passage to celebrate 50,000,000 passengers having sailed aboard the ferry since 1964.
