Dredging the creek….

There’s only one way to improve the docking…

…when the water is low.  I posted these pictures a while back but due to technical issues the post was lost.  Anyhow, this past October we finally bit the bullet and did a bit of digging to enhance our docking areas.  By the way, don’t attempt this without all the proper permits (Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Ministry of Natural Resources, VBL checkbook).

After...
 

The results might be hard to show…

…the pictures don’t really tell the whole story.  At least two dozen truck loads of sand, muck, logs and loon shit were pulled from the docking areas.  In the after shot you might notice the spit of land at the corner has been removed….more docking potential on the floating docks.  Getting things back in shape next spring might involve adding a few more dock fingers and some shore work…..we’ll see.
