When Will It Stop?

Here it is, the end of the second week of June and the winds are still creating havoc. Dottie and I have had enough of the rocking and rolling at the dock and we need to move our location in the marina for a more comfortable "fit".

We have been a part of the B-Dock family for the past 8 years, and over that time have made many friends. For those of you that are boaters, you know that your dock neighbors anr just like your neighbors around your home. You become attached, but in boating, it even becomes more of an attachment. The decision to move out of our neighborhood, and into another one is quite a big decision, but we had no choice. We were getting slammed by crazy winds and rolling docks and water for about 6 weeks now, and there was no end in sight.
So we decided to move.

Robb Lubin, the owner of Oak Park Resort Marina, was very cooperative. He found us a spot on A dock, and much closer to shore. Instead of walking a 1/4 mile out on B-dock, we would be only a few steps from "terra-firma".

On Thursday, June 11th, we made the move....we went to A-dock and for the past few days have been very happy with our decision. We are actually able to walk around the boat without "holding on for dear life." We spent the past weekend making new friends, and saying good-bye to our old friends. We will miss everyone on B-dock, but we had no choice, and found ourselves very happy with our decision. We are now located in slip A-15.
Our friends Doug and Donna Parkhurst also moved along with us, as they too had enough of the rocking and rolling that went along with being out in the boondonks of B-dock. They are located one slip away in A-11.

Life is good on A-dock for now.

Maybe we can finally get our season underway...........
