Smoke Stack Demolition Port Everglades-6:45 AM EDT July 16

[catl331]

I as wondering about all those boats also but I went on Google Earth and zoomed in. There was quite a distance from the ex-stacks and the water. Also there were enough Coast Guard and pilot boats policing. Must have been nice from the Hyatt, if anyone was up yet.

I completely forgot about this today.

Good morning!

 

 

 

Nope - no puppy - Mum didn't become a mum.;) Just as well I think as Fox had to go back for more surgery:eek:

 

Now the other Mum we were considering has had puppies so we need to make a decision if we are going to bit the bullet;)

 

We got a new puppy last Wednesday! An Australian Terrier. He's very cute...but a handful, as puppies are!

I missed the imploding live...didn't get up til 6:50...but have seen it replayed on TV. Amazing how fast they do those things.

Now that it's over I do hope that our regular CC Sail-Away Addicts are having a great summer and looking forward to our upcoming Sail-Away events.

 

You, too, Chief. I'll be happy for the season, too. We'll be bringing the NA in for her 1st sailaway in October! ;)

I guess they're going to replace the plant with a new one but it'll be a cleaner natural gas plant so maybe no big stacks. Suppose to be built over the next three years.

Here is a rendering of the new plant: http://www.fpl.com/environment/plant/pdf/port.pdf

Wah! Sad to see them go.

 

The port webcam home page has the stacks disappearing and reappearing in the upper right corner of the screen. Someone there definitely has a sense of humor. Good video, too.

Another "Thank you," Peter.
