Woe...! What a setting...!
We were riparians for years, and miss it.
There is nothing like the serenity of water front...!

If you look on the bottom right there are brick stairs that lead to the water. I tried to use it as a launch pad for the boat. UNfortunately the boat bounced off a buried rock and crashed in the corner of the brick stairs. It destroyed the right side and a replacement is a must. Only if I have a video, I know everyone here would have gotten a kick out of it. QUESTION: Has anyone here been able to pull off a nice jump. I will try again.

This poor guy didn't make the jump...!
Not really...!
This is the North pier at Ludington, MI. (Last Friday night)
A brand new boat being delivered to the marina.
He had the wrong GPS coordinates pluged in.
That must have been a rude awakening...!
