At the time that it was installed, it was attached to the end of Dock #17 which is where the longer Dock #18 is now attached. Prior to the present configuration, Dock #18 was positioned in the spot where Dock #19 is presently positioned. The reason for the change in the positions of Dock #18 and Dock #19 was in effort to provide the most space for dinghys on the land side of the dinghy dock area. Obviously, if Dock #18 was in place where Dock #19 is now located it would extend further towards land than Dock #19 does now.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"> We have had the problem of the dinghys grounding for a fairly long time and it appears the problem has gotten worse in spite of our efforts as the configuration of the river bottom surrounding the dinghy area has changed as more material (rocks and sand) has decreased the average depthof the dinghy area at low and high tide.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"> From my point of view, removing Dock #19 will not appreciable help the situation. If it is decided to remove Dock #19, we will have to (1) store Dock #19 in our parking area or (2) sell Dock #19. Storing Dock #19 will result in losing a parking space in the parking lot and selling Dock #19 will most likely result in a financial loss. Whatever option we choose will not appreciable solve the dinghy grounding problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Art<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">P.S.
