1:00 pm: New photos taken late morning are up in box #2 THE DREDGE now at 4th and 3rd Street. So yer going to see some more bulldozers and Dredge photos, as if you haven’t seen enough. I then pointed the camera south towards A-Street where you can still get on the beach there. Also some photos from an oceanfront house on 3rd Street for a different perspective. Any way you look at it, the surf is stormy with a strong current from south to north. Waves are chest high at times, and somewhat messy, especially in The Dredge area
