Wednesday Wednesday

I'll try to keep it short and sweet this morning!

It's going to be another roasty toasty day with the heat index well above 100.  Drink plenty of water, wear a hat, wear sunscreen, chat in the shade or carry an umbrella, get out of the heat if you start to feel unwell.

Our chance for rain is relatively low today, but the chance is still there.  Seas are still high, which makes the breaking surf zone a dangerous place to be again.  Winds and currents are still our saving grace from the south and southeast.  The water is clear, except for juengrass, but I see looking out the Regency web cam that at 9 am the red flags are flying(some of the condos are flying red, the county is flying yellow).  For beach conditions from the county go to http://204.90.20.174/navarrebeach/  and of course those can change on a moments notice. 

Reports of oiled bottles and tarballs on the beach are coming in (thank you Daniel), between WO 2/3 and WO 4/5,  but it is believed that those are not washing IN, but rather being uncovered by the high and heavy surf, from the oil landing back in June.

 Keep informing guests of the Leave No Trace Ordinance, it's doing wonders for the beach.  I haven't spoken to a turtle yet, but I'm guessing their diggin' it.  I've heard nothing but good things about our volunteers from BP crews, visitors, and local staff.  So keep up the great work.  I'm liking the term "beach ambassador", of course you do not get diplomatic immunity with that title, so mind the 35mph over the bridge :D

The tropics have a grumbly tummy, as we'll all be watching that for late this weekend.

I promised things to do to mention to guests. 

Tomorrow night (Thursday) is the music in the Navarre park at the north base of the bridge.  It starts at 6and usually runs until 8 and is a great place to hang out with people, and pack a picnic dinner.

And while this is Destin, it's still local, but Thursday nights is their salute to the military night on Harbor Walk.  Shops are open late, vendors come out, concert, and fireworks at sunset.

Every Friday in FWBeach is the downtown art walk.  The shops are open late, and there are open air concerts, and street vendors with local artists. 5:30-8:30

I also noticed that the Pier Grill on our beach is having a Shrimp Boil Friday night at 6:30 for $6.

FWB on Saturday is the Movie Night at Uptown Station Shopping Mall.  They blow up a large screen and show a movie.  This week is Hotel For Dogs.  8pm

I'm sure there are many many other things, local event wise, but those are some quick highlights.

Local newspapers and TV websites have calendars to search if you would like more information.

Be safe out there and have fun while doing it !
