Greetings!
Last Saturday we emailed everyone about the Dana Point Harbor damage caused by the storms last week and the resulting outer channel navigation risk that was the result. If you missed it, watch this short and amazing video provided by a fellow Dana Point boater to learn more. You can also view this on Facebook. ( click here) Good news! We thought you'd appreciate reading the following status update emailed late yesterday by OC DPH Director Brad Gross: Sorry- Been in meetings all day. Here's the NOC with the pertinent dates. As an FYI, we are right on schedule for dredging. If you remember, we try to dredge every 6-8 years depending on the shoaling. Last time we went 8 years and if we stay on schedule we will get to it again in our 7th year. Finally, as you can see in the photo, we were already planning on placing more buoys and two were placed today. One more is now on the way, but for now, you readers should be ok. Best regards,
Brad
The picture above was attached to the email (the two new buoys mentioned are near the jetty on the far left) as well as the NOC (Notice of Completion) document from the last time the harbor was dredged. (To view that click here) It doesn't seem that long ago, but the last dredging was done during the period from August, 2008 thru February 5th, 2009. The first picture below is a view of the expanded Danalina Beach itself, taken by another fellow boater during low tide on Monday.  This second picture shows how just long and wide Danalina Beach has now become now as a result of the storms.  __________________________________
