The finger piers are substantially completed. The cleats were put on top, but the end posts were cut off. Most comments are that they look great, except for those who try to use them. They work great for kayaks, but the end cleats are too close to the front for larger boats to tie up well. There is presently only one cleat for the bow of a boat and only three tie off points can be used. With the prevailing southeast winds this means boats cannot use the south side of the slips as the bow cannot be restrained. Maybe one cleat will be added to the concrete wall between the slips so that there will be four tie off points. Of course a post could be added, but I doubt that will happen.
Justin has purchased a 19 foot Bayhawk with an 88 hp Johnson. I think the fishing bug may be biting him, but I'm not sure when he will find time. He had to come out at 4 a.m. this morning for a sewer backup at the motel. It was a real mess. Jayme and John came out too.
Painting continues on the 500 building, but all others appear finished.
