| John Brooks Beach. Jeremy M. |
I received these photos and the following email message from Jeremy M.
Hi! I’ve been following your blog for a few months and loving the pictures and info you share. I’ve been on Hutchinson for the month and got out to Colored Beach for a last hunt. Here are some pictures…
This cut is about 4’ with loads of shells at the base.
A view of the beach looking south. From the surf to the first flat is heavily scalloped. The flat to the cut is about 25 yards. Above the cut is about 10 yards to a secondary cut. Hard to explain and I didn’t get a good picture of it....

I believe the trouble with Brooks in recent years has been all the renourishment sand which has been washing down from the Fort Pierce inlet area. As you probably know, they've been dumping a lot of sand up there and it just won't stay. It was a more productive beach in the past.

I told Jeremy I don't know if the fellow has a name but it reminds me just a little of the old Christmas Tree landmark that stood at John Brooks beach for decades.
It seemed to me the Christmas Tree disappeared after the 2004 hurricanes, but maybe some other storm took it out. Who remembers when the Christmas Tree disappeared?

Discussion at McLarty Museum (Rex at left, and Cory to right) Photo by JamminJack. |
JamminJack stopped at McLarty Monday. Here is what he said about that.
I really did not feel like going out today. I decided to visit Cory at McLarty Museum and give him some more research material on 1715 Fleet.
Rex dropped by with some friends, and was really enjoyable to listen to someone that had a direct impact with Reale 8. Those who do not know him, he found the famous Golden Dragon and Chain. He said it was found in a ball of clay and submerged halfway in the sand. Someone else, who was part of the Reale 8, actually passed over it. Rex is related to Kip Wagner and was very young back then. He later salvaged some of the wrecks.

Some finds you always remember.

The surf predictions don't give a lot of hope for the coming week.
