Beautiful morning for a mile walk! Nothing of any note-- I included a few pics of the revetment project going on just north of my mile that is ongoing.

A beautiful day to be out on the beach, so why not report a mile or so?

Beautiful morning for a mile walk! If all of the revetment projects in process proceed with OPRD's approval there could be a total of 18 properties with construction/riprap taking place by June.
