  1. No Swimming. No Kidding.

    A storm was blowing on to Clogher Beach recently. Waves so high they’d go over your head. You definitely did not want to drive down there or swim.

  2. Found 2 quiet, new to me, public access spots to go try some crabbing & shrimping real soon. I need to get some new ropes for my traps.

    Both spots are less than 5 minutes apart & only 20 minutes drive from our home. The large public piers in Sooke & Sidney are way too busy/crowded for me to enjoy these days. I've been scouting for new spots to go crabbing/shrimping. Very happy to have found 2 new, isolated spots today. There was only one boater at the docks. There was no one at 2nd shore harvesting spot.

  3. With #SeaLevelRise. this will become a moot point. What I find interesting is how the elite and wealthy find ways to restrict access to land that isn't theirs. Typical #Colonialism!

    Who Gets to Use the #Beach?
    The wealthy have a habit of creating an unwelcome atmosphere on sandy stretches abutting their properties. The problem is that everyone is actually still invited.

    By Duncan Nielsen

    "For years, however, they’ve [the rich and elite] been acting like [the beach] is theirs. #Coastal landowners in the U.S. including Zuckerberg and Chan have a habit of redrawing lines in the sand, so to speak. In Malibu, access to Escondido Beach had been blocked for decades by wealthy residents the Los Angeles Times has reported used considerable resources to do so. Before, in the ’80s, owners of homes flanking an easement that led to the beach had fudged property lines and obscured access by paving new driveways and planting vegetation. But earlier this month, in a huge victory for the Coastal Commission, and the public at large, the easement is now being restored by the current homeowners at no small cost to them, redistributing to many what had been hoarded by a few."
