Cherry Hill Beach has changed ever year since I was first there in the 1=

Just why that is so I'm not sure, there is nothing obvious, maybe it=

to the rising sea level. I doubt this year is any different.

<p class=3D"MsoNormal">Also yesterday, Paolo and I along with two birde=

road and passed the break in the dunes area we discovered 10 PIPL with 4 Sa=
nderling feeding on the mud flats at low tide. I believe that is the most t=
