We had the loveliest weekend this past weekend. Temperatures in the mid 20s, sunny and calm. The leaves are just starting to turn on the hills surrounding the lake. One of our neighbours has already pulled his dock from the water.
We docked at our new dock for the first time. All traces of the old dock have been removed. Only the janky stairs up from the dock remain. They've deposited some rock along the shoreline in anticipation of the new lower (shoreline) dock.
This weekend we did some puttering jobs. We hung some artwork, cleaned some of the tools/moving junk out of the living room corners where it had been accumulating. The bunky now has a smoke detector.
E spent some time on the bowrider, making sure it will run. We've had issues this year with the battery dying, and it bounced off the rocky shore the one rough day it managed to jump off its lift. So far all seems well. He had to wade over to it as the boat lift is no longer next to the dock, but the water was so warm, he went for a short swim afterward!
He drove it into the marina in anticipation of pulling it from the water and taking it to Paris for its end-of-season tune up, wash, and wrapping. I drove the pontoon behind him (in case a tow was needed) for the first time. I'm invincible!
Next weekend we'll be closing up for the winter. E has appointments in the coming days to learn how to operate the cantilevered dock and to have railings installed around the deck.
