considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:



Time: Approx: 4pm 4-11-08 ( a couple hours prior to low tide)

Place: New ProCoII boat dock.

Water depth at dockside: 3.2ft


Lee has confirmed that someone in a sailboat got stuck the first
weekend the dock was open but wasn't aware of any trouble since. He
also confirmed that at extreme low tide, the dock is sitting on(in)
the mud.

You have been warned.

I wear a tide watch.... I know how important that can be.

We finally broke down and bought a clock at McNeills
last year. Might handy gadget it is..


Sorta like
sitting at the other ProCo and watching newbies ignore that funny
triangular sign some idiot stuck up in the water..... see them cut
inside toward the island and end up in about 2 inches of water.....
until low tide and then they can hop out of the boat and inspect the
damage without even getting their feet wet.

Sounds like me about 12 years ago in my Dad's "fabuglas".
(I know better now)



Any rumors of dredging around the new dock?


None, Lee said the mud would just come right back. But then again,
wait till a few more get stuck and/or sustain damage and complain
like a mother...

Then we'll see.
