The post that marked the way through the reefs from Jones into the intercoastal is gone. Which one of you hit it? Had to be a pretty good thump. Also noticed a few of the "channel markers" in Jones are missing. I don't so much miss the channel markers, but who keeps up with the post? It had a flashing light on top of it so I guess someone was taking care of it occasionally.

Yea Harvey's pole seems to be no more. I hit the end of the canal yesterday in the dark and was looking for the blinking light but it was gone!

I think Harvey is dead so he won't be fixing his pole anytime soon! There was a memorial plaque attached to that pole in memory of Harvey if I remember correctly. Have know idea who Harvey was but he must have not been very good at navigating to have his own channel marker.

I saw that there were 2 pipes out there but it looked like they were a little further south of where harveys pole was. Not sure though. I hope whoever took it out got the whole thing. I really would rather not drive a broken off post through my hull.

Looks like a appx 4" pipe stuck beside the stump of the original pole. Didn't stop but took a quick look as we were passing by.

Harvey lived in bayou vista and the pole was put up in his memory. i just realized which pole it was that was missing today. i can't remember exactly what was on the sign, but i think that mickey @ mickey's marine might. i'll ask him and try to get the sign reproduced. i'm doing the fishing show and then have a fla. trip, but when i get back, i'll get some local help and put the pole back up. i have the coordinants in my GPS. the pole has sentimental value to a lot of people. you guy's don't let me procrastinate, O.K.? thanks,Roger p.s. the pole might still be there underwater, be careful.

I took a look at it last weekend and the poles that are there now are further South of where the original pole was -- according to my GPS anyway. I'm kinda worried about running over whatever's left.
