 We went to Rehoboth Beach Monday for lunch and to walk the boardwalk.
(This is looking south of the Avenue)
I love the board walk off season. It is so peaceful and everything is so blue!
Today we saw that they were replenishing the beach sand.
They suck it out from the ocean floor and spread it on the beach.
 It really was quite amazing to watch. If I remember right I think the old
beach ended between these pipes somewhere. I know it was not very wide.
This tug boat was driving right up to the sand and then it would back up, turn around and start again.
It only went so so far and turned around again. Back and forth back and forth.
I was taking pictures of the ocean floor.
 This is all was happening north of the Avenue. You can see the sand coming out of the pipe (below).
It was very windy and cold so we did not really hear a lot of noise.


 I think the cage probably caught big pieces of treasures!
 These poles by the bulldozer thingie marked where he would turn around.
Again back and forth they would all go.

And in the end, if we don't get a major nor eastern this winter,
we will have a beautiful new wider beach to fill with lots and lots of people.
But until then I think we will go a few more times this year to enjoy it all by ourselves.

Note: I tried to post this with more pictures and I guess it was to many because it wouldn't let me. 
So the post before this is the rest of this one. The big tricycle thing was amazing to watch. It was past the bulldozer, past the tugboat. The man said it was mapping the ocean floor.
I hope you enjoyed this post, I did taking the pictures.
