Bobbing Boat

The storm last week caused surprising damage to the dock where I'm moored.

Both sides of the dock have pontoons along its entire length. Each pontoon accommodates two boats.

In the photo, note the large gap. The white bar shows where an entire steel-framed pontoon used to be. It broke off during the storm. The force of the wind against its boats pushed, bent and snapped the pontoon off the dock.

Photo of a dock with moored boats. On one side, there are two boats and a very large gap. There's an annotation on the photo – a white bar with the word "missing" on it – where there used to be a pontoon attached to the main dock by steel frame. It is gone.

Bobbing Boat

During the storm, two days of intense wind shifted the floating dock and left it at an angle.

Boats used to be parallel to the bank, but now they're at an angle. Is this (photo) off by 10°or so?

If they could push it back into place, we wouldn't call this storm damage, but it will be interesting to see how they'll shift a very long floating dock (not shown) and easily a total of ¼-million tonnes of steel boat.

A pontoon dock and the steel narrowboat tied to it are angled toward the bank instead of parallel to it. At the stern the boat is 8 feet or 2½ meters from the bank. At the bow the bost is under 1 foot or 30 centimetres from the bank. The bank itself is hardened with steel and has a gravel bed. There's a row of fence posts and wire fencing around the gravel bed. The floating pontoon dock has a wood-plank surface and a steel frame. It is one of many 10-meter spurs that stick out on both sides of a long, wider dock (not shown). The water reflects a cloudy sky and adjacent bare tree branches. In the distance there are parked vehicles, including two CRT vans filled with workers having a break.
