South Hutchinson Island Looking South Towards John Brooks

I took a look to see what was happening with the beaches since 92L was just off-shore and we also had some high tides.  I looked at a few beaches along South Hutchinson Island a little before low tide.

Cuts began north of John Brooks up by the condos.  They weren't big cuts and there was seaweed, which means that they were starting to refill already at that point.

Looking North From John Brooks.

These cuts look bigger than they were.  They were about one foot and did not vary much anywhere.

Between John Brooks And Frederick Douglas.

 The cuts continued for what I would think was a mile or more about the same height all the way.

Walton Rocks.

 There were no cuts at Walton Rocks.  The beach front there was low and flat.  There was a scooped out area just north of the main access.  The rocks were mostly covered near with and at low tide when I was there.

Jensen Beach.

At Jensen Beach there was also a very flat front beach that extended well out from the slope.  Still some swimmers and sun bathers out, but not nearly as many as before school started.

At least there was some movement of sand.  I'd like to see a lot more, and it is going to take a lot more movement before most of the beaches become very productive again.  Don't know if it is going to happen this summer.

92L is giving us some rain and thunder this morning, while the remnants of Harvey is forming again and heading towards Texas.

The surf is going to increase about a foot today but the tides are still going to be nice and big.

What do you do after you become a billionaire?   Go find sunken ships!

That is what Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen did.


"We've located the wreckage of the USS Indianapolis in Philippine Sea at 5500m below the sea."

That tweet from entrepreneur and billionaire Paul Allen around 12:20 p.m. Saturday confirmed what many have been searching for since the ship was sunk on July 30, 1945...
Here is the link for the rest of that story.

A 200-plus year-old statue of Christopher Columbus was vandalized by protesters.  I think they must be protesting the first undocumented Italian or Spanish ( both seemed to claim him when it seemed like a good thing ) immigrant to the New World.  They probably think he fought in the Civil War.  Or are they protesting the atrocities of the Spanish conquest, looting and slaughter.  Who knows? Trouble with knowledge is that things are not as simple as they might have seemed before the facts got in the way.

Here is a link about the vandalism.
