[Leica] IMG: A Dock for All Ages; My Fourth Cont'd.

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Al,

 From the Winter low to the Summer high is normally about 10 feet. We 
had a dry spell a few years ago that brought about a little greater 
variation.  This dock appears to be secured by two cables (probably more 
that I didn't see) to position it, and the bank end of the boarding ramp 
is on large rollers, so it can self-adjust to changes in water level.

Yes, the deck looked inviting, but I tried to watch all of the lower 
level activities yesterday.  Watching the kids introduction to a Seadoo 
and canoe and seeing their reactions makes life worthwhile.
