I think the dredge got damaged before it got to the Cape. I don't know if has left the shipyard in Jacksonville yet. I'll be down there next weekend though and I'll let you know.
Its a wonderful day in the neighborhood!

I was down there this weekend and heard at the Scallop Cove BP that the dredge hit something off the coast of NC and had to wait for a new prop. They have the pipe all set up on the beach at the state park. We got to watch Cat D7's drive up and down the beach all day Saturday hauling more pipe.
