I just turned on the evening s-news to catch the weatherman say "winds…boy if you live on the water, you’re going to know it!"  Of course that made me start up my computer to check out the weather (links are on the lower left of Beach Drive Blog).   Monday has our highest tides of this month with a 12.3 in the morning (7:10 to be exact).
