Dredging

So the last couple weeks we have been watching them get ready to dredge out Channel Islands Harbor . They do it every couple of years. Above is the dredger itself; the front is like a big auger that digs it loose and then it is pumped through the boat and out that big pipe in the back. Below is the pipes getting laid out on Silver Strand Beach.
                       Some places the pipe is buried.
                       Other places it just lies on top.
       They're hooking it up across the Hueneme Harbor.

 Here they're hooking it up down the promenade at the light house.
  They have it dumping out at Hueneme Beach; it's just water at first.
