Dock Update
Thursday, May 15, 2008
|
As of early Thursday morning, the dock has been very temporarily reconnected. We still need to come with a plan of action for a permanent repair.
|
HELP!
Thursday, May 15, 2008
|
It seems that our floating dock has split apart and currently part of it is adrift. We need some help this Saturday morning to try to figure out how to address this immediate problem. Once that is done, we will need to determine the best course of action for a permanent fix. No boats can be taken out with the dock in its present condition.

Thanks to the clean up/maintenance team led by Jim Frances, our boathouse and surrounding area are looking "fabulous, dahling." H powerwashed the floating dock while Jim, Sharon, Stacy and Dan did yeoman service trimming the trees that were interfering with our boats, edging the walkway, general cleanup, etc. H is going to check into getting a sign from the city advertising that VRC is maintaining that stretch of property. Thanks for Jim for supplying, juice and muffins to energize us. All this work was done after we had a good row.
