Our dock is now double the length

Many thanks to Tobe Halton who worked with me and some local carpenters pushing the dock out into deeper water which will be much better for swimming.  This was not an easy job as we were using recycled wood from another dock that had to be taken down when the new municipal dock was being built.  It was like putting together a giant jig-saw puzzle.

We built a 'tambo' boathouse on the end to house our rowboat and dugout canoe out of the rain.  Eight years of bailing after every rainstorm is now hopefully at an end.

Next project will be a dockbox to house hammocks, life-jackets, paddles etc and a swim ladder.
