Working on the Beach

I just read that they are getting closer to a netbook/tablet that I will be able to work straight from my towel. Being self employed as a Realtor, whenever I travel I look at property. Today I had to find a doctor and quick. My youngest had pharyngitis and an icky infection. I popped over to OMNI Urgent Care in almost West Melbourne(You know just west of the Melbourne Square mall. ) After a one hour wait and and 5 cell phone calls from clients here and abroad, Dr. Mayor -Davies fixed her right up with a Z-Pak. West Melbourne has grown immensely and is a city unto itself. It now reaches out to I-95 in what used to be the sticks to most of us. DiPrima, Mercedes Homes and JerJef all build just north in the area of West Eau Gallie. East Eau Gallie is now an arty district becoming quite a nice Friday or Saturday night date. After a nap for her and more work and phone calls for me we popped down to Melbourne Beach. Pulling up to an access just south of the Longboard Shop we trotted down to a perfectly flat day with onshore break. The baitfish and mullet were running. A cute guy half my age with a mohawk was engrossed in his book and tanning. A group down the beach was fishing and resting under umbrellas. The dad fisherman went and picked his baby up from under the umbrella and carried him out to the surf. He dipped this four or five month old baby in the surf a few times and in a way baptized that child as yet another barrier island kid. Oceanfront ranges from condos to mansions all the way down the coast. Current Pricing runs 250K to about 3 million. I hiked back to the car to make a call to London(I could not hear her over the ocean waves) and explain the short sale and foreclosure process to my newest listing.
Next week: The Chinese are here and the dragon is gone but the tip is now for sale. Until next time Welcome Back to the Beach.
