Chappy Breach and Wasque
Took a ride out there this morning...
1) The breach is closing up quick (middle pic), there is a long spit that goes into the pond that I thik will swing back and close it up.
2) bars/islands are forming parallel to the beach (third pic)
3) Air down lot is long gone Strong erosion along the mainland part of happy...15-25' cliffs now where there was once a flat sandy swimming beach.
4) breach is right up against "mainland" chappy now (it can not move further east)
3) Wasque point as you knew it is gone. At "the fishermans parking lot" The water has washed out the stairs and elevated dock. Swan pond is now part of the Atlantic ocean. An amazing amount of sand is shifted. A few photos below.
I plan to go to Nantucket by plane next weekend and will try to take some aerial shots when I pass by if the weather is decent.
