Keeping the feet dry

I am sitting in the dining room, breakfast now over and the waiting well underway. The skies are low here and in Bisset there is heavy fog. Yes, the planes scheduled to bring in the next 18 guests and, in turn, take out the pacing 16 are still at the base on Fish Lake in Bissett.

This island looks like two islands joined by a sandy beach. When a new dock was constructed three summers ago, the old dock was moved to the other side of the beach -- and now has come in very handy. In anticipation of needing the dock this morning and wanting to keep guests' feet dry, Pat and Noah fashioned an adaptation by moving part of the retired dock along side the flooded walkway.

It was a several-hour long process, the end of which I captured on "film."
