OT: Jersey Shore Beach erosion

Water comes from the other way here. A number of the usual streets were flooded this morning.
Brielle yes if you had enough sense not to drive thru salt water. Main likely because the water was down to 2nd. I went up Ocean.
Ocean always was the best way out. Sounds like that is still the case.

Why not just let it sink 4 miles out? Seems awfully wasteful.
Went today and I noticed the sand looked very different today in Spring Lake. Almost a muddy dirt consistency at the high tide mark...which was the highest I’ve seen all season.
Water is still pretty warm but the wind made it not too fun to deal with getting out. So I just went up to my knees.

Supposed to be mid 70's the next 2-3 days. Local's Summer ain't over yet!
They were over the weekend. Strong NE winds for 48 hours straight will do that.
Hazard to boats and could potentially fill with gas and blow back in. We had a rotting whale carcass wash up in OC about 8 years ago. The smell....
Sad to admit I have not set foot on a beach since last summer. Hoping to catch some waves later this week or over the weekend for the first time in 2020. Did not want to deal with the hassle of badges and crowds this summer. Plus we spent time on the boat in the Manaquan River twice per week instead of going to the beach.
I was just reading there is a global sand shortage, Turns out desert sand is no good for concrete (too round and polished). Beach and riverbank sand is the hot item.

Why the world is running out of sand
It may be little more than grains of weathered rock, and can be found on deserts and beaches around the world, but sand is also the world’s second most consumed natural resource.

Needs a good Marine Biologist...
Wait, don't like a million whales die of natural causes every year? And we're worried about one 4 ... never mind. I don't care.

I guess I need to do a better job clearing the sand out of my suit.
Screw that. Great surf fishing for the next couple of months.

They could have tried this...
um... isn't it dangerous to bury something that large? How deep did they go?Brigantine......

I thought I remembered something about gasses building up during decomposition...
I believe they slice it into pieces. There are actually still people that use old whaling skills and tools.
That's our crabbing boat. Here's a weekend boat. We picked it up at Bloomfield Street in NYC. We told the dockmaster that we know a guy, and he said--sure, have a great time.Know it? I saw it and took a pic.
A bit too crowded for me.
Rip currents thru tomorrow. There's a small craft advisory too all caused by Hurricane Teddy passing by.
Will be on the fireboat, which laughs at small craft advisories.
