Black Flies

Black flies Worst ever. Been visiting for decades. Came down Saturday. Here until Tues. Had some back up spray. Charlie has a new spray by the register (Modica) that worked pretty good for me this morning but so windy, had to leave. for that reason. Beautiful sunsets but the flies. Water was perfectly calm until today. Yellow flag. Today, red. We'll go to the pools after sitting near the water for a hour or so. Not very many people here. Next weekend is Seaside homecoming so pavilions and other areas are being repaired. Haven't driven past 395 yet, but my daughter thought those big long (obnoxious) banners were gone. Busy starting Saturday I guess. Atlanta fall break. We'll see how that goes for a couple of days to determine if we stay this weekend next year. It's Louisville's fall break so that's one reason we are here. Glad the hurricane(s) won't be hitting your area. Awful for those where it does hit. Ellen
 
North wind brings those awful black flies to the beach. Intolerable!
Yes, the north wind. We looked for it and noticed unfortunately that the forecast was most of the visit. Also did see the unfortunate banner. Also saw Shrimp Shack has a Gulf of america sign at their site. Cropped it off after I took photo of family. Another note. Least restaurant visits ever for our family. One meal, $70. With tax & tips $98. No more. Wish we hadn't tipped. To go order. Ellen
