An evening cruise around the island,s waterways at sunset...it won't be long!


In The News:

WHAT,S A BLUEWAY, AND WHERE CAN YOU FIND ONE?  A Blueway is a route on a waterway for recreational purposes.  The Wetlands Institute has created the Jersey Island Blueway: A Paddler's Guide to Cape May County's Backbays, and you can find it here: The map shows more than a dozen routes ideal for kayaking or paddling the area's back bay waters.  Every one of these routes is quite scenic, easy to reach, and likely to reveal a variety of wildlife.  Study the Jersey Island Blueway map before your next kayak outing!
 
BUILD WEALTH. (AND GO TO THE BEACH!)  Owning a shore property over a long period of time has proven to be an effective way to build wealth for you and your family.  Think about shore property values thirty or more years ago, and compare them to today's values, and it becomes obvious.  Perhaps the best part is the other benefit—time spent with your family, visiting the beach, boating, enjoying everything that the island and surrounding area have to offer - all while creating priceless family memories.  If it's time for your own shore property, call or email me, so I can help you find the perfect shore property for you!
 
BACK BAY FLUKE FISHING is underway aboard the Avalon Lady!  Sailing several trips per week from the Avalon Sport Fishing Center at 1400 Ocean Drive.  Get a jump on your summer fishing!  Visit for the schedule and rates.
 
HISTORY, REDISCOVERED:  The Cape May Canal and the Cape May-Lewes Ferry terminal were both temporarily closed early last week after unexploded ordinance was found on nearby Higbee Beach.  A passerby discovered a 3-inch shell washed up on the beach and reported it to Lower Township Police, who eventually summoned the Atlantic City Bomb Squad to disable the shell.  One ferry vessel had to be turned back to Lewes, Delaware during the shutdown.  Cape May County was witness to quite a bit of World War II operations, and occasionally unexploded ordinance is found in the area.  
 
THAT FEELING YOU GET...You know that feeling, as you,

're driving toward the island, and cross over the bridge, and get the first breath of salt air in your lungs.  The excitement...the relaxation...the stress melting away.  Plan your 2025 summer vacation now, if you haven't already.  Visit then select Avalon, Stone Harbor, or Sea Isle City, then find your vacation retreat!
