Aye ! We hope so. The sand has been building for the last couple of years between mother nature's natural processes and the "Beach Renourishment" programs which is such an expensive joke, we need some massive cutting of the beach. Hope Irene does that for us!!!

I'd love to see before and after photos of the millions of $$$ wasted on those 'Beach Nourishment' programs.
I'd like to see names posted of those responsible for the waste.
Anyway..Irene just might house clean the sand off the beaches....

15 to 20 feet of sand will have to be washed off the beach for anyone to find any 1715 goodies.From the looks of the track of irene,its not gonna happen.I will be down on my boat and will bring a MD.Ive been on my boat thru every hurricane since after wilma.Its fun

Good luck to all my East Coast brothers and sisters. Both before and after the storm. Honestly I am glad to not be sitting here at ground zero on another big storm Wilma kicked my butt. Moved the sportfish boat up to behind the Franklin lochs. I think it will stay there until November. So I am skiff diving unless any of you want a crew member.

It should be in best position to churn things up right now...
National news reports 8 people injured in FL too dumb to stay away...
"In South Florida, eight people were out on a jetty off Boynton Beach Inlet when a wave churned up by the outer bands of Irene knocked them over, Palm Beach County officials said. One person was taken to a hospital; seven others were treated at the scene.
Up the coast in Jupiter, a man swimming in the ocean and couldn't be found right away. However, officials say he later was able to get ashore."
- hope anyone hitting the beach does it safely and yall better post some pics!!

I am stuck in Fort Myers for another night. Sailing the Cessna to marathon airport in the AM.
Guess they were clocking 25-30 mph sustained winds near Grassy key with some big gusts in the upper middle keys. I am sure it didn't stir up much. But I cant wait to get back out diving.
Those images of the storm from space looked crazy. She is one big girl.
