OH,

Yes your totally gone. I use mobile.me a lot to do project review albums. I have never had any of the problems you seem to have had. Of course I have limited sharing on them as I only send the url to the client our other's that need to see them.

I'm, not sure how many people 'tune-in' here to follow what's going on.

I do hope that you'll take a another go at it, as truly loved many of your photos. I wished I had downloaded your foggy morning picture of Chatham with the prams and dories before it went away.

OH I'll bet it was the dark forces of the Beach Ninjas again!

The last time we had such a pronounced El Nino we had the Mother's Day storm in 2006 that knocked out two bridges in Ipswich and caused $10 Million dollars in damages to a town about the size of Chatham!

We will have moderate NE winds Sunday and monday from the remains of the mid-Atlantic storm. tides declining should not be a problem. Expect S/I and N/B growth, slight erosion elsewhere.

Dark forces... Ya think? Maybe so... Hmmmmmm
OH

CW
I still have all the photos so will do it again, as soon as I have some time. Right now I still get tired from the nose thing, and hopefully by Tuesday I will have my old nose back!
That foggy pic I took just the other day. Do you know where it is???
I also can send you the photo. Let me know..
OH

Well I put up the pics ,but could not get the font on the side deleted or the large space before the click on for slid show of Foggy Morning for you CW.
Click on the limulus/ limuli and oyster catcher pic to hear music : )
Oh and Mr. Sargent, what is the CORRECT TERM??
Or should we just say horseshoe crab???
Oh one more thing the Oyster Catcher confidence decoy is wicked old and was found out on North Beach many many many moons ago!

Cheers!

OH, I was able to retrieve 7 pictures with a window shot. Have I retreived everything? Saw no oyster catcher or horseshoe crab shots.

But, what I saw was very good.

To second CW Rice anyone who can upload pictures of the area under discussion would be well received by me. Having never been there other than from scoping from Minister Point and some birding on what I thought was called south beach to the right of the lighthouse. That area is amazing so while I will never be able to enjoy what so many of you have, I have a sense of how amazing it is.

OH,
Must to add Chatham Sunset photo as well. Condition of atmosphere very special in that. My time here is becoming short. Much enjoy when that one I see.

OH:

Looks to me like you were taking pictures of Crow's Pond and Bassing Harbor.

One is definitely of the narrow passage between the two.

I remember that spot well because when I was living on the beach I would come across through Bassing Harbor and leave my boat on our Crow's Pond mooring. Many's the time I would leave Crow's Pond after dark headed home to camp. Usually, it was a great trip BUT at low tide it could be a challenge.

Once I got stranded on a bar on a going tide. No problem. I threw the anchor over, proceeded to eat my pint of ice cream (the reason for my late night excursion), and took a nap. I awoke to the sound of the incoming tide against the side of the boat.

Interesting that N/B Island appears to be growing north again the way it did last year. I expect the Inlet may appear to close again when the two sides overlap. Tides will not go above 5 feet again until December 5th. Expect continued slow growth of N/B and N/B Island points. the dead grassy knoll is still stable. Hope Karl flew today!

John H. You should just go to the Fish pier and hitch a ride to the outer beach. The CBI also has a boat and might run you out there. Boaters tend to be generous about giving rides.

OH I just call 'em horseshoe crabs but i suppose you could also call them Limulii! Comfort decoy was quite a find!!

Is it dead or dormant?

Bill, is correct you can often hitch a ride to NB Island, just make sure you have one back as well!

I'm thinking about hosting an 'open Camp' party in the spring (before the green-heads and the plovers & least terns take up residence) for those that are a frequent part of this group... etc.

More to come when I have figured out more. It would be a good way to put faces with people, and allow people who might not have a way of getting onto the beach to do so and so forth.

Bill, if I make lemonade can you bring some of Ben's chowder? We can do a blind taste test between his and an Old Hanna's. (Two things I learned a long time ago, for survival, don't inquire about lady's age and don't give an opinion on a person's cooking.)

OH thanks for the foggy pictures, wonderful shots.

Edited by author 11-22-2009 02:04 PM
Yup should be the dormant grassy knoll! Party great idea! I'll bring sea clam chowder, just scratched up a few more this morning. I still cant get over seeing horses on Crane's beach, about a dozen this morning at 8 am.

PS Correction didn't notice November 30th high tide will be just over 5 feet and they continue over 5 feet to Dec 7th. Highest will be 5.6 feet on Dec 4th. So they are starting to climb again to the perigeen maximums. November's highest tide was only 5.4 feet. These might not seem to make much of a difference until you look at our boat ramp driveway!

The grassy knoll was covered up by NE blowing sand after the blades had gone dormant, dig done a little bit and it's all there. suspect it will rebloom in spring. that little corner has held fast despite all these storms,water, as the flag shows, maybe that little piece is the North Beach keystone.

BUZZzzzzzxxxx
Wrong!'. ;)
Loved the ice cream story
Been there!!!!

______________________________

I was on SI on Saturday about an hour before high water. Tom’s pictures do it justice. Not much there as the channel from NB keeps migrating SW. When (if) the two do fully reconnect, the beach will appear to be remarkably similar to last November. Of course this ignores the east side erosion and the loss of the camps.

CW – brilliant idea. You might threaten to withhold invitations (or alcohol) from the less collegial. That would keep things peacful on the cyber-beach over the winter!
