damn my over zealous typing.

i noticed on the muskegon breakwater cam the breakwater shore is officially friggin sandbarred.

No it isn't, I was there this afternoon until 5 pm.
There is "some" sandbar, at that little beach area where we usually launch, but it is only about 100feet wide at the most......so if you roll the skis just south (to your left) 50 ft.............no more sandbar!
:bigok:

 

[cybermob2]

hush up beach bum... i rolled my ski through that crap last wknd.. sucked. either push it through the sandbar... or lug it farther up/down the beach to the road.

if its not as nasty... i figure the filtration plant area would be pretty nice... i think its shorter to the water by about 20' and nice parallel parking. we'll see. shelter in the breakwater is nice. i just hope waves pan out.

 

[Bruins]

Looks pretty good so far,
