Rodanthe Pier Update *PIC*

King had posted a link a while back about damage...

During this last storm , they lost about 70-80 feet of the pier , just past the ramp. The owners made the decision to make a few strategic cuts with a chainsaw just past the ramp to let it go gracefully , rather than taking a chance that a wave caught it and caused even more damage. Plans are in the works to get repairs to damage in other spots on the pier , rebuilding the end may have to wait , but they are doing fundraising to try to raise money to rebuild all of it. Link is below for anyone interested.

One of the stations , mabye WAVY , caught the end on film as it was going. Looked like they made the right decision RE: cutting their loses with the chainsaw. I think they were able to salvage quite a bit from the beach too , with the help of pier regulars and supporters. I hate that I couldn't make it down to help.

It's sad to see them struggling with keeping it in one piece. That pier , like most , has made a lot of good memories for a lot of people , myself included.

I hope all of you are staying warm and taking care of yourselves!My sis has been having some serious health problems , so I haven't been posting much lately , but i do check in pretty regularly to read what's been going on. We ended up with about a foot of snow Monday night into Tuesday , our first real storm so far this year. I'm already sick of it and ready for Spring to roll around so we can all get back to fishing!

Tight lines!
