I like Flyjack, and hope he continues to contribute to this forum. he's always thinking outside the box. sure, sometimes he gets out there, but who doesn't? we need to work as a team, it's one of the reasons that I broke off of the DZ in the first place, other than Blevins, and Jo....
I've had a lot of distractions lately that has taken me away from this forum for a while now. I want to get back on track, but I don't want to spend my time patching things up.
I have been working offline with Meyer trying to get the Tina Bar project off the ground. he has stepped up to the plate and I greatly appreciate all his efforts and time. we have to wait until the flood season is over in order to get the project moving. the tides are too high for anything to begin. my only concern at the moment is the rubber bands. the ones Tom Kaye gave me a couple years ago are failing. I emailed Tom about getting more, but he said the same thing. the bottom line here is the Alliance Rubber Company needs to be contacted to get more rubber bands. with the tide issue going on this gives us more time to get the bands. everything else is ready to go. these are things we need to be commenting about vs arguing over topics.
If you want to know how much Tina bar has eroded, you need to go to the location to see first hand. there is no beach at the moment like you have seen in the 1980 reports. Meyer would need scuba gear to bury anything. this means next year the location will be under water for this period. this is also the problem on Caterpillar island were the project will be. we will keep everyone updated on this project once the tides start to get back to normal...
