What Seawatch Means To Me

Hi again,
This is a repost of an older blog. Thanks Stan Clinard for reading and responding to my earlier post! In trying to think of ways to get others to interact on this blog, I'd like for each of you who actually read this to respond to this question: My favorite thing about Seawatch is...: or I like Seawatch because...:
For me, my favorite thing about Seawatch is the people. Without a doubt, our neighbors are what makes this such a great neighborhood. Whether it is our full-time neighbors, summertime neighbors or weekend neighbors, there is nothing like them. Even if Seawatch wasn't located on a gorgeous stretch of beach, with neighbors like we have, even the desert would be wonderful.
Okay, how about it guys; What do you like best about Seawatch???

Another Re-Post

Hello again,
What a weekend on Pleasure Island! It all started on Friday night with the Pleasure Island Christmas parade. For such a small island, they really do put on one heck of a good parade.

Attached is a short video type presentation of the parade done by my good friend and co-worker, Sandra Hall. (Many of you may know Bill and Sandra Hall. They live just up the street on Fort Fisher Blvd. and have come to many of our neighborhood activities.) She does an excellent job at these things.

Take a look and you feel like you were there. 2008 Pleasure Island Christmas Parade (Click to view video).

On Saturday, we had the Floatilla. We watched it down on Canal Street. Got'em On Live Bait Club had a super party with dinner and drinks right there on the water. A good time was had by all and the boats really went all out this year with decorations. I'm not sure, but I would guess that 15 or more boats went past us. Many spun around right in front of us, showing off their decorated boats.

There was also a cookie exchange party in the neighborhood. That was fun also. Thanks for Kris Bell and her husband Richard for hosting that event.

Hello,
My name is Joyce Barnwell and this is my first attempt at setting up and working with a blog. In fact, until just a couple of days ago I didn't even know what a blog was. (Today, I'm not sure, but I think I do.)

The way it was explained to me is that a blog site is just a site that people can visit and write comments about what's relevant to the blog title. As the "owner" of the blog, it is my job to write a weekly article or three that will be interesting to people who read the blog and that encourages them to make comments on the blog. I guess a good way to start is to describe our neighborhood.

Seawatch consists of approximately 120 homes or lots. We have a pool, tennis court, private beach walkover with rest room facilities and our own private tiki bar. The Tiki Bar is the local meeting place for neighbors to congregate on Friday afternoons. Neighbors usually bring their beverage of choice and maybe a snack or two to be shared. This informal gathering starts between 4:00 and 5:00, with some of us working folks not getting there until about 6:00. After an hour or two of visiting, plans are usually made as to what we are going to do for dinner. Those wanting to go out usually pick a resturant and a time. Those with previous plans head back home and the remaining neighbors decide the what, where and when of dinner.

Until next time. Joyce
