Pulling the dead head out.
Eric. Rain ? not really, its just high water that pulls this stuff down river. High water ? the cause ? sure a good rain adds l. Global warming as some suggest Just makes me laugh till I choke.
We have been directing or channeling the Fraser using dikes for 100 years. The river is rising cause the channels are filling with sediment. They add pumping stations and gates but the river just don't care. No place or commercial use for the sediment so no want or "need" at this point to dredge as that's an environmental problem. Etc Etc. Flooding along the Fraser is not an if but simply a when. With a huge cost and loss of infrastructure.
Conrad seems the only folk accountable for this issue is guys like me, pleasure cruisers, marinas , users of our water way. The logs are owned by the forest companies so don't even think about recovery of any kind. They will not even pay commercial log salvage a reasonable amount to collect the product. I can go on and on.
Issues ya yet all one has to do is take a boat ride with me and see with there own eyes. Seems I cant get any one, any organization, or Government employee or elected official to take me up on that offer.
I know too much bla bla bla.
Any way is what it is and I am getting too old for that crap, at least I can reason with the dead head.:lol:
Pics from this morning as the dock pulled the bugger out of the bottom. Looks like it was driven into the bottom about 4 feet. But its out and all gear recovered, very little actual damage. Sure cuts into the real work schedule however.
Oh and a pic of George junior as I waited for the tide to do its work.
