Hi everyone
I've had some real fixer upper sales but this would be the best if any Turkeys are interested. I know Norm has pictures from past paddles out here. How can something that tall be a money pit?

Nelson Beach in Plymouth is still closed.
The whole area is being rebuilt. the parking lot is being moved back and expanded. They are also putting in a concrete boat ramp that can be used at high tide.
{The thing would have to be a 1/4 mile long to use at low tide}
Here are some pics
