Just a quick note before I head out to a meeting.
- The sign in/out/schedule book, as well as your ID ( if you haven't already picked it up), the information books, and the safety vests are now in the firehouse lobby. This is on Utility Road, across the street from Emerald Surf, BEHIND Sandy Bottoms on the Beach Road.
-If you happen to sign out early, which is fine, life happens, could you jot down why you are heading out? Heat, lightning, personal reason, extreme fear of clowns, whatever.
-Scheduling is on you all now. Just flip to the day you want and sign up.
A couple people have brought up some questions and concerns, and I'll be taking those to the meeting this morning to get solid answers on. I will then post the answers.
The June grass is in full swing. Apparently it forgot to check the calendar, but since we have had several days of winds from the East, the slime has blown in from Panama City. See? Even the slime likes our beaches. I'm as tired of it as the next person, hopefully it will be gone soon.
The riptide risk is a little lower today, but our chance of thunderstorms is higher. Hear thunder? See lightning? Get off the beach please ! Lightning can zap you 16 miles + from a storm. Don't wait for a storm to sit on your head. It's going to be another warm and humid day on the beaches. Don't let the early morning chill (75' at 7am) fool you. Hats, Sunscreen, Water, and common sense today!

Photos from this morning. It was either yellow flag, green flag, or green flag with purple flag, depending on which way you turned your head this morning. All four flags were flying in one parking lot. Sigh. No wonder the visitors are confused or don't pay attention to them. Honestly, tell them they need to be cautious and use common sense whenever they are out, marine life doesn't stick to the flag, and neither do rips. So there.
Gorgeous day on the Gulf. The June Grass is gone for the most part. The water is crystal clear, and it's happy green and blue. Sadly the JELLIES are back. Those darn Sea Nettles. This morning is wasn't whole jellies, but still annoying and stinging BITS of jellies. Sand can be used to rub out the stingers. Vinegar is great for knocking down the sting, but it doesn't last long. Over the counter jelly creams work. MY FAVORITE is BOIL EASE or children's teething gels. You're looking for 20 % Benzocaine. That's the painkiller, and 20% is as high as you can go. Simply wipe on the sting area and phew......ahhhhhhhhhhh.
Have a great day everyone.
