Allyoop!

Our dock on shore, which I suppose is really a deck if you want to split hairs, is a little bit old and tends to sag in the spring (don't we all!?)

This year it was sloping more than usual towards the water. It seems the centre support had shifted/fallen over the winter, probably pushed by ice. It meant the dockdeck was a bit springy, in addition to being slopey.

The water was mild enough (72°F - sorry metric system, water will always be Fahrenheit for me!) that Handy Dad and the Captain were able to get into the water to lift and move things around. The dock is still a little slopey although not as bad, and it's much less springy.

With the dockdeck raised, our dock needed some adjusting to fix the height at which it was attached to the dockdeck.

Somewhere way way way down the cottage wishlist is an entry that reads "renovate the dockdeck", but it won't happen for many years yet.

Unless the cottage has other plans, at least.
