We had a very successful weekend launching the docks. They are all in the water. The six new ones all look very good and are very stable.
"B" dock is complete except for one 32' section to be added to the end for short term docking.
"A" dock needs to have 4x16' and 3x32' plus 1x32' section added to be complete. Once in place the rest of the poles will be driven.
Thumper is working well. It even has an electric start. A 7' section is to be welded on tomorrow to allow the longer 35' poles to be driven.
The breakwater is doing its job. With a SW wind there was no wave action at the end of "A" dock. Some settling of fill, that was expected in the launch area, was corrected. The corner of the old wharf was beefed up with larger rock to make it more stable in East winds.
We are a month ahead of where we were a year, thanks to the excellent turnout of volunteers this weekend. Stay tuned for next weekend.
