ALL THINGS CONSIDERED
The pond suffered only minimal washout considering the amount of wind and rain we had here yesterday and last night. If we just had more time we could have had the jute matting put down so we wouldn't lose any sand. TIME!!
The pond has LOTS of water now, not only from the rain but water is coming into the pond through the outfall pipe because of the very high tide. The pipe had to have another opening put in to allow more water out while the heavy equipment was spreading the sand. When the tide becomes normal the water will run back out into the bay through that opening. I hope there is some sort of flange or valve that can be put on the outfall pipe once the shoreline has been established. With a valve we could determine the amount of water should be in the pond.
I have the greatest respect for wind and rain, especially living on this little fragile spit of land nestled between the Assawoman Bay and Walkers Pond.
