Yesterday afternoon Mark
and I went out for my first trip on the water this year. Nadya's afloat and chugging along so we went for a little test run down to the Great Egg Inlet, between Longport and Ocean City.
It was a sparklingly beautiful day and we had a bottle of Viognier on board for the trip.
I just might end up spending the end of my working life behind a bar-maybe on St John?
The title of this blog is Ugly Houses-Waterfront Edition (you can find the original blog here)-so let's get to them shall we?
Here is the original ugly house from the street side-the monstrosity that started the whole thing
so
and here it is from the water. The ugliness is redeemed somewhat by the windows taking full advantage of the view, but still....
Next victim-the weird shape of this lot is no excuse for the ugliness
Some old-school Ventnor waterfront houses-decidedly not ugly
More old school-you could get lost in this one
New but palatable-the columns on the second floor tip its hand a bit though-
Our little windfarm-actually adds to the scenery
Yes I was piloting the boat-for a bit
Margate Bridge-no EZ Pass accepted LOL
This guy gets a pass for his ugly house with the cruiser at the dock-not too ugly!
Two houses-the one on the left is tolerable-it doesn't try to be all things to all people and it does a decent job with the boat theme, but the one on the right is just ugly
Longport now-more money, bigger shacks-the one on the right is all angles done acceptably-compare it to the ugly on the left
Longport residents' version of a bullhorn-never a dull moment in the murky waters of NJ politics LOL
A little video of the view going under the Dorset Ave bridge (between Ventnor and Ventnor Heights).
Back home again for the sunset
As I write this a thunderstorm is raging right overhead, but the Phillies are playing again so we should have blue skies eventually.
UPDATE-from Oyster Creek tonight
:)
