PREPPING OUR DOCK FOR OUR ARRIVAL

The weekend before we launch we always drive down to Boundary Creek Marina with a number of items that we need for the summer.  We have a small pair of boarding steps that sit on the dock to assist us in getting aboard the Thunderbird. 

 
To prepare our dock for our arrival Dan also has to install our large permanent bumpers.  That way we don't have to hang fenders out when we go in and out of our home port for a short cruise, we only use the hanging fenders when we go into a strange harbour. 

Today our harbour looks pretty deserted.  By now there are usually quite a few boats around, but as I said in a previous post everyone is "iced in",  in Gimli Harbour.  I'm sure that "Fleet" will all be here by the time we get here next Friday.  I think we lucked out on the timing of our Splash down this year.   

SO THE DOCK IS AS READY FOR OUR ARRIVAL, AS THE BOAT IS
