LJ Launch condition update

Anyone have an update?

What have you seen?

Are they starting repairs?

They started demo for sure. I saw a loader drive through the camera view with a slab of concrete in it. Well, I guess the storm started the demo, they're just cleaning it up.

I'm wondering if there is anything done in the way of just being able to roll kayaks down instead of the wall or stairs.

No real option to roll down the launch. Small strip on left with big drop at the end. Ended up parking in lot and wheeling down stairs by the lot all the way to the launch. Seemed the best way...

I highly doubt they care about us that much...

I was more suggesting that maybe they have a ramp of sand made for them to be driving all the equipment down and access onto the sand for any crew/workers to get down so they aren't jumping off the wall anytime they need to get down there.

High hopes

So who's fishing Saturday? Planning on dragging my kayak down the stairs by myself. Worst case scenario is I scratch her up a bit.

It does not appear that any activity has taken place at the wrecked launch since last week. I doubt that it's high on the city's repair list.

Was out this morning and parked in the lot. There are stairs right next to the life guard station with about 1 1/2 steps to traverse. After going up and down I should have scooped in some sand in front of the steps so there is only one step to get up/down. I would also suggest going stern first down the step so you can control the drop (don't drop 8" and bust a wheel like I did).

Walking up the beach toward the wrecked launch had a bit less surf. Was 3 - 3.5 ft with occasional 4 footers.


Oh, and in case you're wondering... skunked today. There were about 10-12 PBs out and I saw only one other yak. Didn't see any bent rods.

Had to gown down those steps last time the street was repaired. Maybe I'll bring an old beach towel so plastic doesn't hit cement.

I'll be willing to lend a hand if I see someone there the same time as me.
