Docks Out 2006

It was cold, but the son was out for this years Docks Out day. As members gathered, the in-water crew pondered some North Dock issues.

Meanwhile, the grounds team began raking around the Club House and in areas where docks sections were to be stored as others got the boats out of the water.

And was pulled out and put where she could be winterized by the Club Boat Team.

At least one member was determined to extend the shorts season.

Bill Pratt takes a short break from rake detail.

Dock crew members began removing anchor lines.

It was good to have some coffee to turn to on a brisk day when the wind came up and drove the wind chill factor down.

There were plenty of leaves, but the grounds crew was up to the task.

Just three more North Dock sections to separate.

Put your backs to it! How about a good sea chanty to make the work go easier.

Barrells get pulled from under the dock sections and stored behind the Club House.

Getting started on removing the main dock.

With the docks in, leaves raked and other tasks complete, Rear Commodore Jim Fletcher reflects on the season with Jonathan Ahlbrand. Jim did his usual great job of organizing and Docks Out went very smoothly.

Neil Harrison removed the mast on his Lightning and got it moving toward winter storage. John Quensen and Pat Dolan helped.

Matt Allswede, Jamie Rasmussena nd Alanna Harvey get the Safety Boat covered.

With the docks and boats out, the lake already looks colder.

See ya in the spring!!!
