more stormy weather

The weather at the beach has been wild and rough.

 

On Wednesday we arrived at Beechwood to find the tide has been right up to the steps of the beach deck, dislodging the tinnie and ripping up the heavy fishing net David put down to stabilise the sand. Sand has been scoured out - ironical considering the front-end loader trundled so much away.

 

 

 

However, further along the beach at both McEwens places things were much more dramatic with half their beach front and all the seawall being removed out to sea - their planks are at our beach.

 

Truckload after truckload during the next three days has been ferrying in loads of soil and rocks in an effort to stabilise the front and prevent further erosion.
