besides, you can always depend on shenne not understanding two out of every
three words written, and him claiming that is enough for 1000% understanding
of
the subject.


LOL Well, Doodles, if we're talking about me not understanding two out of
every
three words "YOU" write, I'm probably not alone as two out of every three
word
"YOU" write are totally unrelated to the subject, immaterial, or nonsensical
at
best.
The remaining one in three of your words, wouldn't make a coherent post, no
matter how you slung them together.

jeffies, has never, ever, nowhere seen the canal -- not even from the highway
-- but he continues to claim expertise.

I wonder what jeffies is going to say when I tell him the "locks" are open on
an ebb, and **often** open on a flood. I wonder what jeffies is going to say
when I ask him how much difference there is in water height to produce a 5
knot
tidal flow?


ROFLMAO Anyone else having a good laugh about the amount of backpeddling above?

There are very few, and none refer to the locks/gate.

wrong, jeffies, though it is understandable that you couldn't find anything
having to do with "Corps of Eng" simpley because you had no idea whatsoever
--
until this minute -- that it is short for "Army Corps of Engineers".


Sheesh Doodles, you're really stretching it in order to keep this thread goin',
doncha think?

I got a kick out of Jax' reference to people trying to make the Shinnecock
canal/lock into the Suez Canal...... mthere are NO locks in the Suez.


there aren't in the Shinnecock canal (no caps) either. There is a lock there
that is sometimes closed, the reason being some frickin' gov employee with
too
much time on his/her hands worried that normal tidal flow in the the Peconic
would somehow harm the waterlife there.

Ummmmmm that you triple digit (001) IQ giving you problems again?
First sentence: there aren't in the Shinnecock canal either.....
Second sentence: There is a lock there......

Sheesh Doodles, make up your mind!!!!

backpeddle? are you drunk, shen?

Nope. You? Major backpedlin on your part

shen, if you are unable to admit you were drunk, then you leave the
unassailable conclusion that you are truly stew ped.

your choice.

You've hit rock bottom here jaxie. You keep insisting there's a web site that
supports your position, but you can't seem to find it. This is a pretty pathetic
display, even for you.

fumb duck.

jeffies, I spend no time whatsoever googling sites you could find yourself if
your IQ approached high two digits. The information is there. go find it.

or, you can of course jeffies, call some toothless county employee who twice a
day closes a gate for two hours and then opens it for 15 hours, and ask him
just how important his job is.

My first post in this thread referenced a site (the Coast Pilot) that says:

"The lock gates and tide gates are constructed so that tidal action opens them to
allow the current to set south through the canal and closes them to prevent water from
Shinnecock Bay to flow back into Great Peconic Bay."

What am I going to say? I'd say that you've completely reversed your position and
now you're agreeing with me. This is more than a backpedal, this is complete
capitulation!

As for the tidal difference, Peconic Bay at the canal and Shinnecock Inlet (about
three miles away) are almost exactly out of phase. An hour ago, Peconic was high,
about 2.5 feet, and the Inlet was low, at 0.5 feet. That makes about a two foot
difference, plenty to make a serious current. What's your point jaxie?

watch jeffie's wife bark him about the head and shoulders because he doesn't
know what the phrase "tidal flow" means.

Yeah, don't argue mit Doodles. It's obvious he doesn't know what he's
talkin
about, and considering his past problems wit reading comprehension, you've
only
got a one in one thousand chance that he read the CG and Corp sites
correcty.


Shen,
It isn't too hard to search the CG or Corps of Eng sites for all references
to
"Shinnecock." There are very few, and none refer to the locks/gate. In the
case of
the Corps, this is understandable, since they did not build nor do then
maintain the
facility. I'm not sure if the CG area of responsibility extends through the
canal,
but I wouldn't be surprised if they hardly ever go through. Jax is
bluffing- there
is no site, he never talked to the CG or Corps, he was never there.

There are however, a variety of rather explicit references to the locks,
including the
size, number of gates and their operation. Its pretty clear they're regular
locks,
with tide gates next to them. Its possible that jaxie heard someone say they
went
through the gates when the current was south, and didn't realize you have to
use the
locks to go back when the flow is the other way.

I called the lock tender just to make sure - he was rather surprised that
someone
didn't understand how the facility works.
