THE DAY MY DOCK WASHED AWAY

The wind blowing across Lake Simcoe was strong. The waves were not over the dock, so I would estimate at about 18 inches.

While visiting Toronto, my neighbour phoned to tell my dock has been washed off the base and was stuck under HIS dock - and the waves were five feet high.  Five feet high?  Really?!

I got home and sure enough an entire top section of my dock was missing, a quarter of it retrievable, and the rest - vanished into the bowels of Lake Simcoe.

The stone path from the patio to the water was also somewhat washed away.

Living on the water has a whole new set of issues.

  1. Wow, yes south of Barrie we were astounded to see major white caps in our quiet bay. Lake Simcoe can get seriously nasty sometimes. Sorry to hear about the damage. Praying someone will come forward and you can get that fixed asap. We're getting the boat all fixed up for the season.
