PHOTOSHOPPED!!! hahaha
That is freakin amazing though- gotta love the cycles of life and nature! From walking in water to get around the treehouse bar (or waking through it- probably good for business) to that- is just amazing.
Fantastic!
So all this talk about the Breakwater Project being needed because of so much Beach Eroding is Political I am thinking...Nature gives and Nature takes away is what I have heard. Thoughts?
The study that came up with the breakwater plan was commissioned after the record setting mid-2000's storm laced summers that did move much of the visible beach sand out to sea. This made the beach very narrow to non-existent in parts. For the stakeholders of Negril this was an important issue.
Since then, the summer Atlantic weather patterns have returned to their "usual" normal and that has allowed the beach to un-erode (accretion). As you state, Nature gives and Nature takes away.
The beach comes, the beach goes. It is the height of hubris to think that humans can control nature. Mother knows best!
That's great news!
Please, please, please, someone send me a ticket and share your vacation days!!!!! I want to go to Negril.
Keep smiling,
TG
Hi Rob !! Thanks for the picture! I remember one time when we were staying at NTH, the waves were splashing up into the beach bar! And yes, all the beach traffic had to walk through the bar. Todd
Yup; had to get wet to pass by Treehouse some years ago.
Cannot wait to see it in person. 3 more months....
Great to see.
Wasn't that long ago. Amazing recovery indeed.Quote:

Posting that photo is unfair. I've made alternate winter plans this year because of the Canuck Buck, but when I saw that photo it tugged at me, I could feel that sand under my feet and the thought crossed my mind that I would stop in at Auntie's for a cold Stripe on my way up the beach.
Damn!
Maybe a week or two in March? Hmmmm . . .
