Simple enough right? We’ll, the boat died on our way back so we had to cut the first dock free to just float about in the bay. We paddled the boat back to shore. It took some time to clear the gas lines free from the varnished fuel, and the silt that built up along with it. So then we launched a seadoo, but you can’t move as much with it. So things got a little delayed and we ended up working into the onset of night to get one large section bolted to shore. The water is very. Very high right now. The entire rock wall I worked on last summer while the lake was supremely low is totally submerged, and up over many rocks on shore. I’m sure there must be flooding on lower lying spots around the lake. Scary stuff. Not Muskoka lake high, but up a bunch more than I’ve ever seen it.
So today we will bring over the last three sub sections, and lower the boat lift. And if it remains calm perhaps try the lift cover. No good if there’s any wind. It’s a giant, and heavy kite that will pull you into the lake fairly easily. Pulling a two hundred plus pound tarp out of the lake is extraordinarily difficult, and taxing on the body.
After having my hands in the lake to attach the chains for the anchors, I would not like to fall in. Awful. Hardly a degree or two above freezing!
Once we get this dock fixed in place we will need to head home. School tomorrow, and I have work to complete for first thing Monday morning. This was a brief visit with only one expressed purpose, land the docks to launch a boat. Fini. Anything else is a bonus, and we’re free to go once the job is done. No waffling to delay our departure recommended.
Have a Sunday Funday, Lazy Sunday, or be as productive as you can be. Take the day how you see fit! Take care out there. Ciao Bella!
