 The most recent days could be considered the ladder days. First, this ladder washes up attached to a 12 x12 20 foot post that came from who knows where. There were only three lags bolts holding it to the post. Jerry removed those and we pondered what to do with this nice galvanized ladder. Jerry attached the base  that was behind the shop left over from a previous job that didn't work out last year.
 Jerry then mounted the ladder on the middle of the crossbridge. I have seen four people fall into the marina from the bridge over the years and this will provide a way for such folks to extricate themselves from the water. Jerry shows here how sturdy it is. At lower tides it could be used to step from a boat to the bridge.
 Ernie and Judy(guests in 303) brought their own ladder with them again this year. It helps them to get in and out of their boat.
While we were thinking about ladders, Jerry helped out those of us who like to hunt for flounder by building and installing this short ladder on the breakwater. The water here is less than a foot deep, but it is a big step down to step from the concrete wall. The cold temperatures and murky water has not allowed much floundering recently.
