Yippee!!!! The Beachcomber is back, y’all!! These last two months have not been
what any of us anticipated. Ever. Although everyone has their opinion on the early
opening compared to the rest of the country, here we are and we are going do the
best we can to get through it safely and most definitely with a sense of humor! Even
the Bubonic Plague ended at some point! We can do this Tybee!
So, here is the bad news: The Easter Egg Hunt and the Third Annual Cocktail
Contest have both been canceled. I know. It broke my heart too! But that just means
y’all will really be ready come 2021!
The good news is that we have a brand spanking new contest, courtesy of our
very own Fish Whisperer - Captain Nick Shreves of Big Fish Charters. He has
just bought a new boat and he wants us to name it!!! Come up with something
fun and cool, while keeping in mind this is a family friendly situation. My personal
entry was “The Salty Bitch” and Nick shut me down. Email or text your entries to
me by June 15 to info@tybeebeachcomber.com or (912) 675-5261. The winner
will receive something fabulous that I haven’t figured out yet, but I will by the time
I need to. It’s gonna be great!
Moving along to Jen Knox, owner of The Sand Bar. I know a lot of people have
gone above and beyond to help others during this situation and if I had to name
them all, it would be pages upon pages. Jen though, really shines. She took all of
the dollar bills off of her walls (over $3,500) and donated them to her staff and
Tybee’s people. Her generosity garnered international attention that brought even
more donated funds to Tybee to distribute among the food/bar industry folks. This
is why Tybee will survive no matter what. It’s because of this island’s residents and
the people that love this little rock and can’t even imagine being anywhere else on
the planet. A shout out to Jen and to every single person that did their thing.
On we go to the Traveling Beachcomber!!! June’s winners are Tyler and Tracey
Randolph freezing their butts off at Niagara Falls and then Cherrie Kauffmann
looking very wet at Niagara Falls! I wonder if y’all walked by each other? Both
pictures are great and thank y’all for taking that for the team!!! Let’s all get together
at A-J’s and you can buy me dinner!!!
Now, go wash your hands, make me a cocktail and let’s get back to a fun and
entertaining read … It’s good to be back, y’all!
