We’ve made it to 4th of July weekend in Rocky Point – well, maybe we should say 4th of July eve. Summer’s sultry swagger has begun as yes, that’s right, the humidity is slinking its way across our shores. Water is great, though keep up the jelly-fish shuffle when walking into the sea and keep an eye out for turtles coming up to nest as it’s that time of year as well. (If you happen to spot one – please report to 638 383 4226 or 911)
