Brevard County has directed that there shall be no socializing on its beaches, other than walking, swimming, paddle boarding, surfing, fishing, etc., i.e. individual activities, which do not encourage a gathering, and no use of chairs to encourage a gathering.
Yesterday, a beautiful beach day at our Beach Club, appeared, right below the south stairway to the beach, a group of 10 or more young folks, their chairs in a snug circle, with a tent nearby for more folks to congregate. These young folks, more than likely guests or children of our Residents, were actually and selfishly putting the Residents at risk by not practicing a quarantine procedure, i.e. social distancing, especially since their selfish behavior was right at the beach landing of the stairway access where the beach goers enter the beach.
Have these young folks not heard of social distancing to avoid the spread of possible infection from the ubiquitous Virus? Are they aware of the Virus? And if they are aware, then do they realize their act of insouciance behavior is not only selfish, but disrespectful. Where are the parents and hosts for these youngsters? Aquarina Beach is private for its Residents, and we deserve to control our environment for the well-being of ourselves, especially from non-residents, who have not been schooled to proper community and now a humanity protocol.
We all know the Board, with its tunnel vision for golf, considers the Beach Club a secondary, at best, amenity. Its appearance of neglect and its lack of oversight, has long been detailed in this Blog. The irony is, that among our amenities, it is used by more of the Residents than any of our amenities. How about the Board posting a notice at each of the beach accesses that no chairs and no socializing are permitted on the beach during the quarantine? Haven’t all the chairs been removed from the deck area?
Coming soon – why we need to remove the Board from its direct involvement in AGI, i.e. golf, the restaurant, and tennis, which results in a fertile ground for Board collusion with these entities, and where some Board Members have apparently hoped to gain back their “Glory Days” or to try again for “Glory Days” which they never were able to attain, with their bullying and selfish control of the AGI operation at the Residents’ expense.
