Bren and I arrived around 2:30 and Mike and Hippy were on the lake, platform on a floating dock north of dock #3...(well, actually it was ON dock #3 with the platform "asea" and ready to launch. Mike's yelling "Hurry up, get your suits on!"
Bren ops out to get geared up at her pace so I solo out to find the cable with the float, (Mike has planted the anchor and says the cable SHOULD be around 20 ft. with a float on it. Hippy drops me off, spot on, but the float I find is 30 ft.(tell Mike we need more cable)...and dang cold, I might add.
Steve (TPH) arrived as I was going out so he and Bren get geared up and we head out to see the new platform, (Mike and Hippy had a good safe launch) and Beast....you did another nice JOB of welding! viz is clear across the platform and it's spot on at 20 ft.
After some time Mike and Hippy get 15 ft more cable and some more clamps and we shoot a marker bag, hook a lift bag to the cable and in 10 minutes or so (once again....it's COLD at 30 ft.) Steve and I have the newest platform anchored and we' re off to the boats on the roadbed.... (Bren, Mark, Steve and I)
Good time, good work, good friends....MISSED you D&D!
off to PK Friday to see old friends and meet new ones....Life is Good.
