Lots of work going on this week to keep the beach in shape for summer guests. When the beach is graded it’s a tougher walk.

July 16th – a foreboding sky. I just managed to avoid getting soaked. The rain started as soon as I got back to the truck.
July 18th – Great to see that the town is straightening the poles for the volleyball nets – they got more than a little crooked over the winter.
July 18th – you can see how much rainfall there’s been. The runoff near 16th street has literally bisected the beach at the outflow of the storm drain.
July 18th – a second walk in the evening – watching the sunset looking toward Collingwood and Thornbury
July 19th – Some seagulls getting out of my way
July 20th – with the water levels so high, they’re going to lots of effort to grade the beach and get rid of the vegetation. Makes it a hard walk because you sink into the freshly graded sand.
July 21st – you can see the dramatic effects of the grading here – this was grass yesterday!
