Fair winds and best wishes to Sarah and the Canadian crew of the S/V Concordia Storm damages Oakville Harbor pier By SAL BOMMARITO Oakville Beaver Staff Front Street resident Jock Anderson has lived on Lake Ontario for 27 years. In that time, he has seen only one other storm which carried the same punch as the one which lashed the lake shoreline Wednesday night and Thursday. "I expect it every 20 years. It was the worst (storm) in 20 years," said Anderson. The storm, which hit Halton Region §fii§‘:’i§§. I.EPAGEI vantage A Proud Sponsor her voyage The sail from San Salvador to Antigua was very rough, with wind and current against us all the way. This leg took us a couple of days longer than we expected and we only had time for a quick overnight stay in Antigua, so we could make it to St. Kitts in time for our Marine We anchored in Whitehouse Bay at the southeast peninsula of St. Kitts. St. Kitts is located 17 degrees north of the equator; it is 23 miles long and covers an area of 68 square miles. A Canadian marine biologist, Robert Young, had set up an extensive land program for us. First, we went on a hike through sea salt marshes and a mangrove swamp. Then we mapped out a section of the coastline, recording the plant life we found. We identified each plant and recorded its abundance. We found many species, including Acadia, Sea Grapes, Beach Morning Glory, Sea Lavender, Seaside Purslane, Salt Grass and many others. One of the more interesting was a tree with a fruit resembling an apple but highly toxic. It also has a milky sap which is very acid and capable of burning human skin. After this we went snorkeling. We saw an abundance of corals including Staghorn, Finger, Star, Brain, Pillar and Fire corals. There were also many tropical fish including Squirrel Fish, Soldier Fish, Angel Fish, Cherub, Damsel, Trunk and Porcupine Fish. In the shallow water around the rocks we found an octopus. It was about two feet long and squirted black ink when we touched it. It felt very soft. When we completed our marine biology dive, we had time to explore a wreck, and later that evening we pulled up anchor and sailed Each office independently owned and operated . §45.9180 rah on Wednesday afternoon, brought with it gale force winds from the northeast and east, reaching speeds of 80 km/h (49 m.p.h.). The winds caused high waves on the lake which reached heights of between two and three metres (6.5 ft. to 9.8 ft.). Concern about the potential effects of the storm resulted in the Halton Region Conservation Authority issuing a flood/erosion alert. But Anderson said the storm didn‘t cause any serious damage to any of the well as a variety of other dishes.

"It‘s just nuisance damage," he said. Anderson said the high waves threw rocks on to his property and blew around some driftwood which he had placed near the shoreline. He said his neighbor‘s property was covered in ice because of icy winds and spraying water. Anderson said a breakwater saved his property from any serious damage. "I have a sea wall and the armor rock along the top of the wall takes the . brunt of it," he said. Anderson added the water level in ; the lake is "very high right now." However, â€" Gurth _ Bramall, | EB oakville‘s harbormaster, said the high | waves resulted in some damage to the | Oakville Harbor‘s west pier. Bramall said about "150 tons" of P rock will have to be replaced after the i _ waves "gouged" out a large hole in the seafood at ifs best, as | [ pier. He blamed the lake‘s high water level and the high waves for the damâ€" age. Bramall is concerned that if the lake‘s water level doesn‘t go down soon it could cause problems within the harbor for boaters. The boating seaâ€" son begins at the end of April, he said. In fact, the water level for Lake Ontario is about 45 cm (17.5 in.) above its seasonal average and swelled an additional 25 cm (9.75 in.) during the storm because of the high waves, said Ruth Edgett, a spokeswoman for the Great Lakes Water Level Communications _ Centre, _ a Burlingtonâ€"based â€" agency _ of Environment Canada. "In the last week, because of runâ€" off, the lake has gone up quite a bit. We call it ‘seasonal rise,"" she said. She said the water level in Lake Ontario could be lowered slightly by adjusting the water level in the St. Lawrence Seaway. But that could result in flooding near smaller lakes along the waterway, she said. "It‘s a balancing act which has to be done," Edgett said. GIRLS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FUNDED BY DEPT.
