    Is there a quick fix to holes in your booties? They are no larger than a dime.

    Hahhaa, hope not!

    But have small holes that formed from just wear. I need this preferably fixed by tomorrow, if not Wednesday.

    head to you local shop & see if they have wetsuit glue. it's great for those minor nicks & wear-thru holes.
    it's great stuff...

    Hate to say it but just buy new. I am a patcher and it never works longterm. It always sucks as the fix starts to come loose.

    Yeah, that sucks cause I really don't have a local shop I can just hop to.

    Yeah, I figured...but this is just that, a temp fix for the next couple days.

    Suck it up and buy new ones. Patchin them ain't worth the cost of the glue, it never holds!!

    Get pvc cement or something like tile sealant and some duct table and just duct tape over the two sides (inside and outside) of the holes, cover the duct tape and surrounding area with pvc cement, cover the cement when dry with another piece of duct tape, and then lather on another layer of the cement. This should last you about 3 sessions.

    In between the groin at garden and steel there are a few wooden steaks sticking out only visible at low.

    From garden to steel there is a bunch of 10 ft tall cement sewage looking thingys stick out

    and on the north side of the groin there is another set of steaks/pilings coming up right along it.

    The other day I pulled about a 10 foot long piece of rusted metal out of the sand in knee deep water at low tide. About four feet of it was sticking up out of the sand, with about two feet of it sticking up out of the water. Took me a minute, but I pulled it up and out of the sand and dragged it up the beach to the dune line. Encrusted with barnacles... someone had tied a long piece of caution tape to it. It would have literally impaled you if you where to happen to fall on it.
