Morning Bell March 7

Good morning Everyone,

First the weather. It's been an up and down week with a few cold fronts (not really cold) blowing thru including one today that looks like it will be a little more serious. Windy and cold tonite dropping to 40s. Yesterday and today we have very high temps and humidy. Feels like summer! Boaters, there are SCWs for the Gulf today and tomorrow. It's building today out of the South and will shift around overnite and be coming from the North tomorrow after the front passes by. Looks like rain tomorrow but Sunday will be great!

The Shrimp Festival begins tomorrow with the parade in the morning and we'll be there with our annual float carrying the Chamber comittee.

It's an exciting day today as the last section of the seawall will be finished today, the steel girders for the communications towere are going up and the drywall for the ship store arrived so here are a few pics so far.

Two weeks ago Jodi and bobbie had a tour out on the Bay and, as usual, the dolphins were following along. Check out these incredible shots taken by one very happy customer.

Last night larry and I watched a couple of Manatees swimming around the launch well.

The day's getting away from me. More pics tomorrow.

Joe
