Beautiful morning for a mile walk! If all of the revetment projects in process proceed with OPRD's approval there could be a total of 18 properties with construction/riprap taking place by June.

I couldn't do my mile because of the tide and accompanying intrusion due to relentless rip-rapping revetments.
