I never saw a sailboat up on a lift before! |
On our trip down to Cocoa Village Marina several weeks ago, we saw the usual elevated docks for small boats, they are quite common in Florida and other points south. However, in one case at Cocoa we an elevated dock for a sailboat will a pretty good keel. I didn't think they made such docks for sailboats! I supposed it helps with making the bottom paint last.
Now that's a long way down for a coconut to fall! |
I took one more look around for killer coconuts. It only takes a few examples such as in the photo to appreciate the force that could be exerted by a falling 2 lb object. There were some towns near Miami that actually removed the palm trees by pedestrian walkways for fear of falling coconuts and the liability they represented to the towns.
We're taking a road trip on Monday to the Smyrna Dunes Park, It's about an hour's drive north and it's dog friendly so we'll get Hoolie exercised too. This one is a county park so our Golden Passport for national parks does not apply, we'll have to pay.
