A Hot One

Mornin'!  It's 72° in Wildwood.  Ms Sun's fighting through the summer haze this morning.  The sky's beginning to lighten with colors of corals and pinks.  There's going to be plentiful sunshine again today as the island heats up.  We'll probably tap 90° with no problem.  Winds (none at the moment) will begin out of the S-SW at 10-15mph and shift by later this after from the S-SE at 10-15mph.  Tonight...temps back into the mid-upper 70s with breezes out of the South at 15-20mph.  First signs of any rain (showers and/or thunderstorms) is Wednesday night.  Today though...beach day perfection!  Don't forget footwear...that beach sand will be hot!
High tide:10:35a.m.

My Monday Morning Beach Etiquette tips:
   ~remember not to leave any trash on the beach or better yet pick up any you see as you leave whether  it's yours or not.
   ~remember to take your cigarette butts (or just don't smoke and pollute the lovely sea air).
   ~remember to pack your headphones (believe it or not no one wants to hear your music).
   ~kindly give your neighbors space and careful not to place your umbrella,chair or blanket too close to your beach neighbor.
   ~give your kids a quick tutorial on "no running on others blankets or towels"
   ~give your kids another quick tutorial on "not running too close to beach goers to avoid kicking sand on them".
   ~don't play ball, frisbee or fly kites near other beach goers...beach patrol usually stops you.
   ~don't feed the seagulls (if possible eat under your umbrella) as these vultures never stop eying up diners and will swoop down and pluck that food right out of your hand creating havoc around your beach area.
   ~shake towels or beach blankets away from others who are enjoying their beach time.
   ~follow posted warnings and pay attention to lifeguards.
   ~(my hubby suggested I include this one)... if you take a call on your cell phone, courtesy would be taking the call away from others like on the back beach (on the dune side) rather than share the call with all those around you.
