My View of Life on the Dock
On a beautiful Wednesday took a walk to to the beach. There were many people out walking with proper distance. The Pier looks great, Shore Road is so pretty and love the fact there was a paddle boarder off Kettle Island. It does not take us hardy New England citizens to adapt as soon as the sun is out. Beautiful day.
Took a walk to get some fresh air on Tuesday after the rain. Such a pretty walk and as you can see the pier is really coming along.
The crane has gone and as of now Shore Road has reopened. The progress on the rebuild is very obvious within the last week. Thank you to all the workers.
Talked to an engineer the other day with regard to the crane on Shore Road to build the Magnolia Pier. The workers have been very polite and considerate of the neighbors and walkers. He informed me that the crane can reach over 200 feet. He also stated that most likely it will take about two more weeks with the crane.
Ricky is 6 feet but standing next to the crane give a prospective of the size of this piece of machinery. The pier is coming along.
The crane at the Magnolia Pier is so big, the road is closed. The workers were drilling down some pilings today and you can see the dust coming from the pilings. Very exciting.
YEAH!!!!
On Friday it was so cold the sunset was different with a ring around the sun.
The Crane will be back this week and hopefully our beloved Magnolia Pier will be done.
Different perspective on the Magnolia Pier design. It almost looks like the Crusader crosses on their vest. It was cloudy so the sky and ocean looked silver.
Love this art by handmade by local artist Vionette Vee Chipperini.
A couple of photos from Monday as it was blowing, high tides, and rain. You can see from the Magnolia Pier photo that making the pier 2 feet higher it will protect our beloved pier. The waves off Kettle Island were very impressive.
On Monday about 2 hours before high tide, went by the Magnolia Pier. You can see how sturdy the pier is built and being 2 feet higher will make a huge difference when we have storms.
The progress on the Magnolia Pier is very noticeable. The workers have been doing a great job and also they have been very nice.
As the sun was setting on Friday, the sun gave a pretty glow to the pier.
You can see how the raising of the Magnolia Pier 2 feet will make a huge difference during high tides.
Good Morning Gloucester
