Grounded boat in front of Dockside

Though there was not much of a view this morning with heavy fog settling in, plenty was to view from the Dockside grounds. What was planned to be a relaxing morning sail turned into a circus attraction for one unfortunate sailor who struck ground in his vessel early Friday morning. The boat will be leaning on its side for the next ten hours as it awaits the next high tide.

As with most older buildings it requires more maintenance than newer ones. Some of the work you will notice and we hope you will like it. But the new chimney will probably go unnoticed.
