I’ve noticed that several Trawler Forum folks live in Punta Gorda.
My friends Darrell and Cindy own a home there so I visit several times a year.
Darrell’s seawall was damaged in this last hurricane. The silly thing is that it didn’t fall over, it just sank straight down about a foot. His dock was fastened to the seawall and now at least one of the pilings under it is broken. The shore side of the dock is now about a foot lower than the outer edge.
I understand there were a lot of seawalls damaged. I heard 18 miles.
Any of the other TF folks lose a seawall? How did it fail?
