The breach in the wall

I want to write on that wall! :D Nice shot. Love the angle!

Good stuff here - this is about as good as it gets from the deck!

Thank you Liam bring a waterproof pen. Yes the water on the right is higher than the water on the left.

Thanks Kevin have I whetted your appetite yet? Deck, ah your on your back deck looking at these? No?

Cheers y'all.

Hahahaha! No, I meant the deck of the kayak!! ... seemed like about the right perspective anyway. Yes, I'm ready ... how's the back?

All in all, just another brick out the wall.

Regards Peter

LOL...... no this was the day I imitated the Hunchback of Notre Dam, so I was kind of walking/shuffling Kevin. Not paddling.

I expect to be allowed back in a boat following my next Chiro visit Friday! We'll see how that goes.

Needs more than a few bricks in THAT wall Peter.

I think it must have been quite an engineering feat! I doubt it will ever be repaired.

Cheers Jethro

Hi Jethro

I was just testing whether you were old enough to remember Pink Floyd!

But curious about the breakwater I found this…

All in all, it’s an area awash in red tape that even bureaucrats have had a hard time getting their hands around.

All the best Peter

Thank you Peter - I do remember and LOVED The Wall. The album, the concerts and the movie.

The boat ramp looks nothing like the photo in the old newspaper (our local rag) nowadays. I only just remember looking like that.

Here is what I have finally found out about this wall (to my utter amazement)

In 1881, the US Army Corps of Engineers built a wall to aid navigation by stopping shoaling in the Cape Fear River. This wall called, "The Rocks" closed the former New Inlet, once used by Confederate blockade-runners to avoid the U.S. Navy. A lagoon now exists, called "The Basin". Today, The Rocks and The Basin are part of the Zeke's Island component of the North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve, a 1160-acre area of outstanding estuarine and ocean resources with extensive marshes and tidal flats.

Excellent addition to the notes, Jethro - very interesting!

I was astonished. But it don't take much!
