Why They Call It a Breakwater From Bill O’Connor

Hi Joe,

After last night’s storm we headed over to the breakwater to check out the waves.  The first shot was taken from the beach at the parking lot and my lense was just about level with the top of the breakwater. The second was take from the light house end using a telephoto.  The coolest thing about the breakwater is that when walking out on it, you’ll see gaps where stones were on the ocean side.  This means there used to be stones there! If it’s low tide, you can look on the harbor side of the gaps and see the missing stones on the bottom.  If you think about how much power it takes to dislodge one of those stones and throw it to the other side of the breakwater, it’s mind boggling!

Thanks,
