Sand conditions are always changing what looks like a sturdy sandbar can quickly become quicksand. ⚠️Captains are requested to pull their launch rig and trailer as far up the beach as possible and straight while parking to make way for others to park and a second row if needed⚠️. Captains are also reminded that a running beach rig can and will sink in wet sand in a matter of minutes if not seconds.

*CAUTIONS*
⚠️ CAUTION is highly recommended even as we head out of the Summer months. Pedestrians will still be on the beach on the weekends. As always keep a lookout for inexperienced surfers. Conditions are always hazardous to those inexperienced.⚠️
🚧 HUNGRY HARBOR ROAD. All of the concrete tiles have been placed and the soapstone has been put down for the season. Access should be less difficult with the exception of high tide. Captains are always encouraged to observe the ramp before making any attempt. 🚧
Rock conditions on the beach:
⚠️⚠️ CAUTION!!!⚠️⚠️
🪨🪨 There are STILL multiple observations of Rock sightings from the North sign post and South about 150 ft as well as a strip of small rocks at the high water line. Captains are encouraged to check the beach at all tides. As always stay vigilant and plan to change course if needed.🪨🪨
*LIABILITY*
⚓️Captain's are reminded they are solely responsible for the safety of their crew and vessel at all times. Captains are also encouraged to have themselves and passengers wear flotation devices ( Life Jackets, Float Coats, Inflatable PFD ) while navigating the surf during launch and landings. As weather conditions can and do change rapidly at any time of year with little to no warning SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT.⚓️
*RESPECT AND LOVE*
❤️As always captains stay safe and good luck crabbing🦀, fishing🎣 ❤️
