Installing the new dock

During May 2010, the new dock allowing the Estuary Steward or other larger vessels to dock in deeper water was installed.  The photos show the dock being floated into place from its storage & assembly location at the Poughkeepsie Yacht Club. Other pictures show the newly designed and built walkway to get from the dock up to the base in place.
