The beginning of November has been a pleasure. Days in the 50's and the sky is generally blue rather than slate grey. The last two weekends I've been reworking the shape of the first wave and resetting the lower portion of the second wave. I was getting in a couple of hours on both Saturdays and Sundays. As of last Sunday this is what it looked like. 
I have been taking stone from the top of the other two waves and the western end to reshape the first wave and the lower portion of the second wave. If the crest of wave one is still there this weekend, I'll start on the crest of wave two. I think if I can get a couple of hours in I can finish off wave two before Thanksgiving. The goal will then be to finish of the third wave before snow locks things up for the winter. 
Stone and wood are still being tossed ashore by the lake on the days when there is a little surf. But most days of late have been glass calm. I was coming down off the bluff on Sunday and you could see the bottom of the lake about 40 feet out as if there were no water , it was so clear.
Here is the first crest as of Saturday last, before I had Sunday to finish it off. You can see that the light was pretty clear and clean that afternoon. If I didn't have other obligations, on days like this, I could stay down there and work until dark. It is so calm and peaceful. Even the waves respectfully keep themselves quiet when it is like this.
From the east end looking up the wave this is what it is like now. This whole end was vandalized at the end of summer, but now with little reason to go down to the beach, things will stay undamaged, hopefully.
