2:42pm
Barge with machine and container heading back to While Rock.
I think they must be filling container up with all the sunken boats and pier pieces. And exchanging full containers for empty ones at the Marina. Tomorrow will check out the Marina to she if my guess is correct.

3:32pm
Here is the same barge coming to the white Rock pier. Their work day is done. Parked behind the break water and then saw them head back to Marina in the small motor boat they were towing.
