Hey Cappy-Tan Jack it's actually a blessing in disguise Those who know...know If you know what I be sayin' Actually I think Bill would be the only person on here who'd know what I be sayin'
$128,000,000 for 12 miles. Illinois based dock & dredge company, working on ocean bathymetry. It's amazing this ACOE clown show continues.
Swell amplifying dredge wedges MIS I ain't pulling no IHL though and telling errrr body how to find them
Ive always said sand replenishment is a payoff scheme. My opinion is the govt official or officials who approve this funding are getting cash kickbacks from the construction co. Think about it sand replenishment didn't stop the water during sandy, there was just 10 to 15 feet of water on top of the sand replenished beaches.
A few spots survive, most are destroyed. Sand is usually ****ty quality, more like dirt than sand. Enjoy LBI!
No its sand. Just looks like dirt when first pumped because the sand hasn't been bleached by the sun yet. I can't complain about the dredging anymore, they have beaten me to submission. As Jawn alluded to, the island has become a spongers wet dream. There are a ton of little point breaks up and down the island when conditions permit it, but all in all our once treasured breaks are buried for good…..Long Buried Island.
100% truth. Big money. Big Cayman Island bank accounts. Lots of sand. Big storm. Oops, there goes all the sand. Time for more sand. We are all in the wrong business, my friends.
It doesn't take anything other than common sense to know that this sh1t doesn't do anything but give the ACOE something to do... It's a huge middle finger to every taxpayer.
Down here due to sea turtle nesting,sand color is important. Darker sand heats quicker and hotter, and has an effect on male v female hatchlings. So the turtle people are up in arms when we get dark sand dumped on our beaches. Size of grain is a big deal to the surfers and divers. Finer sand causes more turbidity and murkier water, less sun gets to the reefs, and sharks are harder to spot, and swimmers/surfers get bit by mistake. It is harder and harder to find good quality sand to put on the beaches. Underwater borrow pits get exhausted quick. Inland sites mean lots of trucks and road damage. And it's gone after a few blows.
Speaking of sea turtles, two days ago one as poking his head out and a wave came and almost landed him right in my face. He looked like a dinosaur with barnacles and sh*t all over his back.
I know I said this before, but the first time one stuck her head up along side of me, I thought it was a focking sea serpent...
i saw a loger head a few years ago grabing a horshore crab from a distance, way far out side i had to paddle way out and see what it was they were in battle and i kept following him closest i got was 5 ft, it was pretty cool, i mean how often do you see that?
Ah Sniffer I forgot aboot you dawg When they buried the glory of Harvey Cedars I shed a tear and poured a whole 40oz out in the sand Got Nam that was all to long ago
