Tractors in the surf

[wintersbk]

Any ideas why the heavy machinery is out in the surf?

I ususally like to take a look at the live destincam.com webcam and this is what I saw this morning. If you take a look at the series of photos it appears they are pulling something up on the beach.

Looks like the pipes from Libery Island dredge involved in the nourishment project. Not sure where the cam is but last I heard they were still working in Walco. Also I would think they'd have the area blocked off.

It looks like they are hunting turtles or kids

Normally, I would agree, but I think that particular cam is in Okaloosa County somewhere near Henderson Beach. I thought the re-nourishment began at Miramar and ran to roughly the edge of Topsail Hill SP.

The camera use to be off a condo right near Capt Dave's on the border by Okaloosa and Walton. Don't know if it still there - you could see it attached to the house when I walked that area of beach.

When I drove by there on Thursday, I saw the guys working with plenty of pipe on the beach, but they were not pumping sand. Pipe, heavy yellow equipment and sunbathers were everywhere. Nothing was blocked off.

There is still something in the water here. Whatever it is seems to be leaking oil. Yet, there is sits with no one seeming to care.

I'm glad I'm not sitting on that beach for a week..........kind of ruins the serenity of the beach :roll:

JB, that is the pipe and the pipe is not leaking oil.
