I snapped a few pictures while there. It was low tide. There were signs that the horseshoe crabs had come and gone. And there are signs that the bay is eroding the sand bank covering the old pool.

ReplyDeletePhew! Thanks, Cassie, for validating. I'm at that age, you know....flashbacks or early onset alzheimer's both, are clear possibilites. That must have been some job breaking up that boat, it was pretty big.
Deleteit was there here is a shot of my groups beach cleanup day,u can see the bottom of it behind the group of girlscouts http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.216880311694597.46912.100001178891866&type=3#!/photo.php?fbid=347800021935958&set=a.216880311694597.46912.100001178891866&type=3&theater
DeletePerhaps it was at Cliffwood Beach in Old Bridge. I never saw it in Aberdeen, and I'm down there quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteHi, that was me who saw the boat...I swear! It was big and wooden, painted green on the bottom and lying on its side one morning at around 9. I saw it as I drove by. The next morning when I drove by it was gone, I really don't think I hallucinated it! or maybe, flashback from the 60's? ...nah! It was there! : )
ReplyDeleteI believe you. And I won't judge your flashbacks. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou said you drove by and saw it. I presume you were on Lakeshore and saw it in that gap between the seawall and the dunes. I wonder what the story is behind the beaching and the retrieval. Anyone know the story?
That boat was at Cliffwood Beach in Old Bridge. The boat was moved next to the old pool by the town and cleaning crew(orange jumpsuit convicts). Also removed was two 20 yd dumpsters of debree.
