DOCK D AND NEW SLIPS

{{ {{{Dock D}}} }} A few months ago, floating dock D was in the early stages of tearing itself apart. Ronnie Young began the process of rebuilding the dock. So far, new skirting has been added to prevent boats from slipping under the decking and being damaged, one of the floats has been replaced, several pieces of reinforcing brackets have been rebuilt and installed, and some of the decking has been replaced. There is still more to be done and we are working on it slowly. Particularly, we have to remove the old poles. The board discussed someone’s idea of rotating the dock 90 degrees so that it ran more or less parallel to the shore and so that we could reposition the poles making the dock was more boat friendly. This past week Ronnie repositioned the dock to the new position and the contractor came and put in the new poles. The potos show the new poles in place. {{ {{{New Slips}}} }} While we were discussing the repositioning of the Dock D, we got permission from Georgia Power to add stand off poles next to the stationary part of Dock D and next to Dock E (near the pavilion)so that boats could be tied up at these locations without damage. Notice the new poles next to these docks in the photos. Those on the waiting list will soon be notified that the new slips are available. Photos were taken by Dick Mueller.
