It won’t be long before spring flowers are blooming along Dune Drive, and all across the island!
A SOLAR ECLIPSE will occur on Monday, April 8th, and Avalon & Stone Harbor beaches will be a great location to observe the event. In our area the eclipse will begin shortly after 2pm, with peak coverage of the sun occurring shortly after 3pm. Although our area will not experience “totality,” an impressive 84.8% of the sun will be obscured, dramatically darkening the sky. (Caution: do not look directly at the sun with the naked eye, even during the eclipse, as permanent eye damage can occur quickly. Camera and phone sensors can be damaged by pointing them at the sun, too. Special eclipse viewing glasses to protect your eyes, and special solar filters to protect cameras and smartphones, are available inexpensively online.)
THE ATLANTIC CITY AIRSHOW will go on, thanks to funding & sponsorship from the South Jersey Transportation Authority. Lack of funding had led to talk of postponing this year’s show until the SJTA funding was announced. The airshow is planned for August 13-14. Even those not attending the show directly often see numerous aircraft in the area, especially along the beach, as they approach or leave the show.
WHALE & DOLPHIN SIGHTINGS have already been reported by the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. The early sightings on Delaware Bay are a great sign in advance of summer, meaning there should be plenty of sightings off our beaches. The Ferry is also offering Solar Eclipse Sailings. Two crossings on April 8th will offer the chance to view the solar eclipse from the upper deck of the vessel.
SUMMER IS COMING! We’re just two months from Memorial Day Weekend! What are your plans? Need a vacation rental? Want to make it permanent and purchase your own shore property? Either way, call or email me!
HAPPY EASTER!
