8-17-11 Operation Fender

Well most of you have been following the story on the rather LARGE "fender" that floated over onto Iroquois point. We have Barbara and Robert to thank for their persistence... but I also want to make sure we thank Clay for the endless hours he put in with Team Billand... Clay has been the guardian of Iroquois point for a while when ever a seal hauls out... I am included photos Clay took on 8-16 with T21M and the giant fender.... and then when the Navy came in to remove it.... Thank you sooo much Clay, we appreciate your dedication and thank you for sharing.
~da blog lady~ and friends

 amazed at the size of this thing
 also can't believe the coconut tree acted as an anchor
 don't know about anyone else... but this looks so dangerous
holy torpedo batman!
