The high tides associated with the vernal equinox were just a few days late. Yesterday during the afternoon the tide came up as least a foot. The higher tide appears to have washed out part of the site we are working on, but in reality it's just a case of much higher tide than I post a few days ago.

The tide did wash out a part of the new sand placed behind the repaired bulkhead. This will have to be done with stabilized sand to achieve any long term repair.

Before the tide came up Jerry borrowed my waders and went into the water just north of the fish cleaning stand on the pier to retrieve this old tire. This tire had been there for years and we expected it would be covered in lures, but it was not. It was, however, home to a large number of crabs who had taken up residence inside. It doesn't show in the picture, but the tread was about 12 inches across. I don't know what it may have come off of or how it got there.
