New Breach on South Beach
 

A new breach was made by last weeks storm on south beach in Chatham roughly 1.5 miles from the light house. It will be there for a while it is suspected.

South or north of the light? Any photos / links? Thanks for the heads up

The Pamet is now punched strait through, basically making Truro and PTown an island now.

Thanks for the heads up....I will definitely check it out this spring.

Normally I would be excited to see something like this as it is a new
drain to explore, but considering its location, I suspect that it just
means... that the seal colony will have easy access to the backwater
now. Gooble...gooble...hungry hippos.

Wow that's crazy. Ill have to look at some images of that. The breach at south beach on the Vineyard is finally looking like it could close up in the next year or two. It was opened by a storm back in 2007.

rockin...If you catch the right wave in a kayak, you might be able to navigate from the ocean to the bay.

The video suggests it was just from the storm surge.... or is it permanent?

Lets hope so,,, Been a lot of yrs without it!

If this breach remains, cuts down my ride from Barn Hill greatly.

Mike it will. It takes off 20 miles round trip from Bass River. The cut is near the old J or K can. I watched a small boat go through the cut earlier this week. I am willing to bet that Chatham will make that ramp residents only as is the case in Ryders. Once the street gets crazy with trailers the tickets and towing and bitching will start. But for now it is a great shortcut.

Barn Hill? !!
Waiting to launch years ago I saw a boat, trailer and "minivan" launch there once,,,, I'm talking the whole rig,,, quite a sight. Luck have it, the guy (kid?) didn't drown the engine.
We got right out.
Can't wait,,, should be ready to go 5-6 weeks,,,, yippy! :biglaugh:
Gup

Oh!!
Hows this for a work site?

That's looking from the back of the house (what's left of it) through the front door across main st. Chatham,,, just before the lighthouse.

If we could just dredge that out a bit, it would save me some time :)

this what you get with new guys on the block..that new cut in south beach is right where the old bar was..all the chatham fleet use to go through it..with all that fresh sea water coming in it should expand the shellfish 10 fold...and help clean out stage harbor and the sound of all the oil and dead water that just goes out and comes right back in cause it never had a good flushing sence south beach closed up...worried about shellfish stocks..what a joke..all the great shellfishing died cause it closed up,you couldn't even find a crab out there before.

Prof...I have the roll ..just need to get it there somehow...wouldn't know how to get to the shop in daylite..guess I just gotta mail it to ya home.....ya! the old bar ..u could only cross it on the third wave or you'd bottom out an end over end...a few did...but boy o boy did that point of north beach hold fish back in the days..

Working next to the water down there sucks in the winter...did a few homes from the fish pier north....never again...they can keep their money.

This sotrm (Saturn) should really open it up big time!
