This kid i know thinks he's sailing from monmouth county to delaware tomorrow morning, and this noreaster isn't going to stop him. i told him we'll be reading about him in the newspaper.
hmmm.... doesn't sound like the best idea I've heard of. Is it even possible to sail in winds this hard?
hah it'd be like a speedboat with the NE winds. he'd make it (granted no tragedies) in like 20 minutes hahah man i can tell we are gonna get reimbursed for the few hurricanes we got with these great swells. gear up boys!
just something that i realized with all this talk about dunes being gone is submerged obstacles now.... this storm is washing in a ridiculous amount of debris into the water as well as stuff that was too heavy to be washed up before. i wouldnt be surprised if there is a new pirate ship washed up after this. just be super careful that you dont get impaled by dune fencing or boardwalk when this mess finally works for us.
yea as the balls of fence got washed out from infront of my house at seacolony tonight I was def thinking that.
in 20mins my buddy and i watched about a 25ft railing with fencing around the dunes at 145th st ocmd get ripped away. i havent seen such damage in a very long time. buoy is over 25ft!!!!!!!
last year on labor day weekend, after a head high tropical swell the hull of a shipwreck from 1850 washed up on the beach i was sittign, 45th street. crazy. i'm definitely with you guys on being sketched out by flotsam and jetsam. nothing like duck diving into a 2 ton plank of wood >.< or wiping out onto some **** like that. and water quality...there's a lot of runoff from the land for this one.
Well so far infront of the nine buildings here we lost at least 7/8s of the snow fence and that is so far before the next tide.
This is the link to the DELDOT cams located just North of IRI inlet & facing south towards the bridge. It shows right now where the crews are working on the dunes/beach where the ocean broke thru & onto RT 1. http://www.deldot.gov/public.ejs?command=PublicCameraDisplay&county=3&id=126&hb=1&connectType=http
awesome man!! i was the guard attempting to help lift it out of the water at first, before the guy on the quad got there. we almost had it...then realized it was a giant L shape and probably at least 2 tons (4ooo pounds). we had been trying to lift the small part of the L haha, that thing was ridiculously heavy. oh dang and it's seared into my memory - there was this incredible girl spectating, she had the most amazing curves i had seen all summer, and i see a lot of sexy girls from may-october, so that's saying something! i have a mental polaroid of her gorgeous body seared into my memory. hot damn!
DUDE! I remember that girl CLEARLY! SHe was soooo fukkin hot it was unreal! Looked like she was with her dad or something hahah yea man thank god for dark shades I kept them on for sure! Hahaha I can't believe you remember her as well that's too funny! Yea I worked the beach stand on 38th that summer and always hung out with Tommy who guarded that st. Saw a bunch of people gathering around the surf so I had to investigate it. I was just messing with people yelling, "Looks like a dang pirate ship!" Some dude gets all serious and says, "Noo, that's a old roman ship! Look at the markings." Hahaha too funny! Right on bruddah!
ahahhaha! im so glad you remember that, damn!! it's inspiration to never let a beautiful girl like that get away without me getting her number again. it could have been a match made in heaven. sigh. hahahaha ya man, i work castle in the sand (37th st) over the summer, just south of tommy, he's my crew chief. they call me skittles - by labor day weekend we were in fall stands, so i sat 43 and 45 for most of september. but that's cool, cuz i got to watch stoehr board a bunch of days on 43, he kills it. and one day he was out there with jeff hubbard too. sick stuff. there were definitely some hardcore guys out there when that thing washed up, at first i was saying it was just a telephone pole or a washed up piece of an old pier, but then i saw those roman numerals and changed my mind. pretty cool, and small world. you made my night by also remembering that chick, epic.
Sick pics Mitchell, I saw that & the other pic you posted on delsurf.com. Do you have access to get where the roads were closed or did they open Rt 1 back up? Here are some pics I took today @ low tide in Bethany.
