Sponsored this week by Rocky Point Divers
Following a bit of rain this morning – yeah, you read that right …rain (well, drizzle) – one look at the docks makes it clear shrimp season has begun. The full season (for smaller boats and larger vessels) went into full effect today, Saturday 19th. With the shrimp boats out, humidity dropping (we hope), and weekend activities picking up – that can mean only one thing. Fall is just about here…that’d be September 22nd to be exact. So, let’s get to it and run down the weekend and take a look at what’s coming up as the we head into the best weather of the year!
