Hey Steve...that's you in that photo on the slab right, the one that's your avatar? Did you get any other photos close-up of it? When I was there I forgot to take photos of it but if you have some other ones I'd love to see what the metal bits are.Steve wrote:Gross......I also keep hoping it doesn't turn out to be some kind of slaughtering platform for the turtles!!!!Lily wrote:Icepick...
Just a thought, but it could be sewer/septic tank related, as all properties along that beach, at one time might not have been on the water/sewer set up which they are on today? Just one concrete piece which wasnt hauled away? Ah, all these ideas!
That is my son and I, I do have other photos, such as of my wife and son sitting on the slab (sorry,water perch) and shots going the other way down the beach, plus of course shots of the front gate, the guest house from the beach and what I could get of the main house, but unfortuantely, nothing close up of the slab.......Here are a couple of them.....Icepick wrote:Hey Steve...that's you in that photo on the slab right, the one that's your avatar?

Or anyone else for that matter.
Hole going straight through.....Icepick wrote:^Yup....this is definitely what I'm gearing for now. From looking at various shallow water anchors around the internet this might be the most logical reason.
Thanks Steve for the pics! It's amazing how a quite ordinary piece of cement can be such a popular attraction...lol. Your photos are helpful as they do show the lines from cement casting. There seems to be a deteriorated metal bar across one edge. A further key piece of info is that it has openings on 3 sides(presumably 4) leading through to the centre.
Steve, can you remember if the centre of the block was just an indentation or was it a hole going straight through?
I would know all this if I was smart enough to investigate it when I was there...doh!
My initial thought, when seeing that the holes go all the way through was the slab could be an anchor of sorts, as Icepick just mentioned.So perhaps it is then, just a rudimentary anchor where you can rope off your boat around the open bits.
