Salty Dog the liar claims.

Caveat: don't believe everything Salty Dog says.

Too bad Dave, who obviously knew this, didn't present the facts.

Shows what pigs slopping at the government trough will stoop to.

Sigh....Pity the ignorant.

The 1992 dredging was only a partial dredging, as the current one will
be.
(Current one is to go only to 6 ft. depth. Full dredging would take it
to
11
ft.) The one prior to 1992 was a full dredging, and lasted some 30
years.

I have no pity for the ignorant:

50 years!

Since it was dredged in 1992 shouldn't it be dredged again in 2042?

And if it was dredged in '92 isn't the required dredging every 25 years?

He's a liar!


Dave spelled it out for you and you still don't have it correctly.

The last full dredging was the one PRIOR to 1992 and lasted 30 years.
Go look at a calendar if it will help you. Thirty years before 1992 it
was... 1962! Dave says it lasted "some 30 years. Do I need to remind
you that it is now 2008, and almost 2009. Do the math, Bob. Looks like
roughly 46, or maybe even a few more years, depending on how accurate
Dave was with the "some 30 years".

AMEN!

PRAISE!



I don't need any help with the math. You, possessing engineering degrees
both mechanical and electrical, should be well versed in the science of
measurement! The point of discussion here is your misrepresentation of the
dredging of the Saybrook Gunkhole. First you say it needs dredging every 50
years, now it's every 30! Then you say it was last dredged 50 years ago, now
it's 16 years ago. Dredging is dredging regardless of depth.

Why do you rely on Dave to correctly present the facts? Can't you? Since you
were the cutting edge reporter on the scene for all those years shouldn't
you be presenting truthful facts in the spirit of what journalism is? Maybe
you were working on the Einiac at the time. You're full of it, you resort
to lies to make a point that doesn't hold water - in fact it silts up in a
matter of hours as soon as one checks the facts.

Since there have been no boats requiring 11 feet of water in the harbor for
at least 30 years, why dredge it to that depth? 60-70 foot sailboats have
about 11' of draft, and 150' power boats draw about the same.

Dredging it deeper will only require more frequent dredgings since the rich
folk of the Connecticut shore will bring in their deep draft yachts.

Can America afford catering to the rich when so many children go to bed
hungry and have no health insurance? The cost of the dredging would provide
10,000 children with health insurance for a year.

Bottom line: Don't take Salty on his word. Check the facts.
