If the owners of that one house changed the awnings, I think we may be screwed.

Hey Aloof,
When you mean not working.....what exactly does that entail? I mean some people work to make ends meet at first....and then once they are in a comfortable position they are able to enjoy themselves a little more.
But with things the way they are (cost of living and such) us young people on the left coast are pretty much just working to make ends meet....Sorry new to the forum....just thought this was interesting viewpoints/discussion.

no kelp. no leash. i was hanging ten at very low tide rincon. that wave gets very critical even when small as it runs over the inside sandbar. so the section started to pitch and closeout and it became obvious i was gonna get shut down so i launched myself on purpose, i was riding a 1966 rick noserider which weighs a lot and the prospect of being hit by it didn't appeal to me, so i went for distance to get away from the log. anyone whose surfed rincon at lowtide knows what i am describing.
Hi gang. Haven't posted in a while but this topic caught my eye.
I am one of those individuals who, for over 40 years, have made Ocean City my summer home. We were a family who came down on Easter weekend to put up the awnings, turn on the water and generally open the house for the season. (We had no heat). My mom, siblings and i would spend basically from Memorial day through Labor day at our place before we closed the place for winter. Dad would be down only on weekends as he worked in Philly. I worked every summer at the beach until I graduated from law school. I learned how to surf 14th and 16th streets - spots that no longer break, but in their day........ My family sold the old home (built in 1932) almost 10 years ago. Every year since then I've taken up a seasonal rental in the quieter gardens area. No, I'm not a local, but in many respects I grew up in OC.
For many obvious reasons, (centering on family and work) I can no longer spent the entire season at the town I come to love. My wife and I bring the kids down to the rental on weekends and I try to catch the odd swell during the week. I'm not rude, nor am I a poor driver. I treat others with the same - often more - respect than they show me.
I agree with Tony that the town has changed dramatically in the past 30 years. Hell, I'd say most of the change occured in the past 15 - when the dolphins and syringes stopped washing up on the beaches and unheated quaint bungalows were acquired by developers and razed in favor of multi-unit housing- as happened to our old family hut. That progress is truly a shame because more units bring more population, more population bring more anxiety to those who live on the island year-round. Certainly, the numbers of surfers have increased exponentially during that time. And, among them, I've seen rude, immature and downright nasty behavior in the water from locals and non-locals alike. But not too often.
Nevertheless, I continue to inhabit "America's Greatest Family Resort" during the season. Like me, my son will learn how to sail at the yacht club and learn how to surf on an old longboard somewhere north of Waverly. I'll probably be in a financial position in a year or so to buy my own place and start my own family memories. Frankly, I can't wait.
I'll remember to turn the water off before I leave.

Thanks Nate1, and I hope to paddle out with you and your son on a noth end dawn patrol this summer.
As for buying your seashore home, if you can't quite make the pinch for a house on the island, I know many who opted to buy in Somers Point. It's a short ride over either two north end bridges, and the there's always plenty of homes for sale over here.
The only down side is our tax rate is higher than O.C.

The only way to stop whats happening is a local government that can decide and has the funding to decide to curb the development. And we all know politicians...
refering to futility only, i did not mean to imply that someone should not if he so desires, waste makes haste and haste makes waste i picked up soda bottles when i was a kid along the side of the road so i guess i did a good thing for everybody whithout realizen it at first. in fact i just then realized it since you brote it up. i'm crokidial dundee speeding through the universe. i through that in. heard it in a moody blues song. thinking is the best way to travel.creoque? wrote:
