THE DREDGE TEXAS was towed to Cape May last week for routine repairs, according to the latest beach replenishment project update. The Stone Harbor portion of the project is complete with 394,000 cubic yards of sand having been placed on the beach. When the Texas returns, work will begin in Avalon, where 940,000 cubic yards of sand are expected to be pumped onto the beaches from 9th Street to 30th Street. The Army Corps of Engineers is considering an additional proposal that would have another 340,000 cubic yards of sand pumped onto beaches from 77th Street in Avalon to 105th Street in Stone Harbor.

WHILE THE I-95 CORRIDOR and points north & west saw lots of snow this week, we had only rain and wind here on the Island. The strongest northeast winds lasted only a short time, resulting in tides that were slightly higher than normal. By mid-day Tuesday winds had shifted to the northwest and subsided.
