Maybe, he'll be there for a little 'show & tell' to demo the correct procedure for tying off a boat to the Cattle Landing dock?

Not having the end of the dock easily usable for drop-offs and pick-ups must be a big disappointment after that was how the old dock was used for about 70-years or more. ...and this is progress.......dag-kna-bit!

Over the years I have given the Meredith DPW guys a ride to the island a couple of times. They are nice guys but the idea that they know more about docking a boat than people that live on an island is laughable.

...being totally bored out of my my mind and having nothing better to do right now....I googled "Cattle Landing town dock" and came up with a quote from the SBONH forum quoting the Meredith DPW on what's the best way to tie a boat to the Cattle Landing floating dock so as to avoid any damage....

....quoted loosely ......June 9, 2012, from the Laconia Daily Sun .......from the Meredith DPW.......'Loosely tied boats may sustain damage from the floating dock, while boats tied tightly to the vertical timbers and using boat bumpers will be ok'......'It's up to you to put boat bumpers out ......It wasn't the docks fault that the gentleman's boat got damaged.....it's up to you to put boat bumpers out.'
