Ocean

2 Comments

We did an overnight trip to Ocean City this past Wednesday/Thursday. Great weather, small crowds, easy traffic, lots of exercise and good food. You could have the beach to yourself and the ocean as well. A little too chilly for me though in the water. 63 degrees is an ice bath to this guy. I look for at least 70.

I’m sure this weekend looks quite different. Photo by Mike Hartley

We were on the beach when the OC Beach Patrol was there getting ready for the kickoff of the season this weekend.

A nephew of mine and his wife were both lifeguards in Ocean City for a few years before he went into the Navy.

Many people are very thankful for this troop of fine young people. I hope you never need them but every summer I see many people being pulled to shore.

On the walk back to the hotel we saw what looked to be one of the bicycle officers struggling a bit with heat with OCFD on site.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • A wonderful lunch with my brothers-in-law and their spouses today.
  • I was going to pull the cover off the go-cart and go for a ride but the weather radar says that might not be the best thought.
  • All I want this weekend is for my health to be back.
  • I’m starting to like Pineapple a lot more.
  • My throat is still sore, I think I’ll have some ice cream. Have a good evening all.
