Matunuck Erosion

[chefchris401]

Grega and I were down there in the late fall fishing all the blitz action and were shocked at how close some of the homes are too the water now, especially those bigger homes which look like there sitting on giant sand bags.

Hope whatever they do looks good, saves homes, and doesn't restrict access

Those are the "5 cottages" so called. One has been demolished (Chafee's) one has been moved and the others will either be demolished, moved or fall into the ocean. Those woven rope bags were placed there by an outfit from Nantucket or the Vineyard and were supposed to be the hot set up to stop ocean erosion. The year after they were installed (the first time) the remains of the bags could be found all along the beach from there to Charlestown. That particular stretch has a lot of old families with old money and they have not been able to get anything done... besides stop folks from walking by naked of course.
