Pontoon busters: who you gonna call?
The first question that popped into my head when I saw the Big Concrete Object (see photo) that washed up on my neighbor’s beach last night is the title of this post. More important points to ponder include where did it come from? and what can my neighbor do to get rid of it? Dyes Inlet is having 13+ foot high tides for the next few days, but just because the BCO floated in on one doesn’t mean it is going to float back out.
A few musings before I post the photo. The BCO looks like it broke away from a commercial marina or a breakwater. I don’t think it is part of a floating concrete walkway though. Not with those rusty bolts protruding into the center channel. The top part is normally above water as only the lower portion is encrusted with barnacles. Concrete floats or at least it floats when the pontoon’s air chamber is big enough. How long has it been floating around posing a threat to boat traffic in Dyes Inlet and Port Washington Narrows?

let me know when you find out what it is and when it’s gone.
Wrong again. Whatever it was, the Big Concrete Object was gone this morning.
So now time and tide have transformed your question to: “How long (will it continue) floating around posing a threat to boat traffic in Dyes Inlet and Port Washington Narrows?
Very dangerous for small pleasure craft. Like fast moving ski boats.
