Deep Water Access is Courtesy of Tax Dollars and Corps of Engineers

RYC gets deeper water access overnight.... the dredger is moving inexorably down the creek at about 12 ft per hour, sucking the silt from the bottom of the channel and pumping via a mile long tube to a disposal site some way up the creek. Around 5 pm the sharp pointy end - an ugly rotating multi-bladed bit ( just the sort of tool that James Bond would find himself on the wrong end of... ) - appeared on the surface and a couple of engineers fussed over it for half an hour before resuming the action - this looks like a 24/7 operation. It will not be a quiet night in the creek tonight....
