10 Dock going 9-18-03.JPG

Around 4:30 PM on Thursday, with the waters haven risen and with swells between 5 and 7 feet, what we expected began - the dock began to break up. AMAZING, when you see a dock, built from 2x6 boards that have been double bolted to the pilings, begin moving up and down as the water pleases. The water was pounding up through the boards just shaking the dock apart. Remember from grade school when you would twirl a pencil between your fingers so fast that it wobbled like rubber? That's what the dock looked like - a huge rubber eraser wobbling in the seas. This fuzzy photo and the next, taken through the window, show you the start of the-end-of-the-dock.
