Green Grass and High Tides

In Maine, there are 9-10 foot tides.


So if you want to go for the occasional row or sail, there might be a lot of dinghy dragging for floatability because the tide was out.


The skipper had the solution: wade out in the muck at low tide, drive a 10-foot stake in, pile a few rocks around it, and bring back a clothing line pulley sort of arrangement that permitted one on the shore to bring the dinghy in whatever the tide.


Genius.  Then we got a dock.  Sort of genius phase 2.
