Every couple of years, the sand and silt in Chicago’s harbor mouths need to be cleaned out. We lose shallow spots we enjoyed for teaching and surfing, but the big ships that pay to dock have more clout. This is Chicago, after all.

What’s the location? Did you surf the waves?
you would think there would be a better way to do that?

I ran across one of those last summer in the south end of the St Clair River. It was swimming somewhere using the bucket as a paddle/pole (depending on water depth) to propel itself.

@Haris: We encountered this beast in the channel leading to Jackson Harbor.

@henry: If we saw that, we would have paddled away fast!
