Jim on the Marsh !!

Marsh Boardwalk

A short walk from our "Marsh Villa" is a boardwalk through the marshes. It is a meandering pleasant path. The Heron's, Pelican's and other birds without names :) are busy doing what birds do.

After The Flood-New Villa

After a pipe broke in the wall of the Villa at midnight leaving an inch of water sloshing around, we travelled a few miles to our new "Non Ocean View Villa"... There are many birds which are lovely to watch, so that's a nice trade.

Fripp 2010


Fripp


Fearless Deer

The deer roam the Island fearlessly... they are like cows grazing... they won't even look up when you are within six feet.

Storm Destruction


Hours before finding these posts uprooted we saw what appeared to be a river of reeds, a few logs and some garbage floating by on the waves. We went for a walk and found this destruction not far from the Villa. The waves must have come crashing over that sea wall. On the right hand side of the picture is part of the wall which is made out of cement, beyond the wall and forty feet or so into the ocean are massive rocks placed in an attempt to keep the sea at bay (sea at bay...funny) The waves managed to take out a chunk of the golf course along with a few thousand pounds of sand and grass. The posts just tipped over without their sandy support.

Water getting choppy as storm approaches

There is a storm coming across the states carrying ice, snow and rain... it is not supposed to make it down to Fripp... but we are certainly getting some side effects.

Clamming Day

Dad thinking about doing some "clamming"....
