The Last days of the Nova Dock?
The Nova Dock was moved from the shipyard to Woodside at noon today.
4 Mckiel tugs had shown up in the past few days, and they appear to be working the Nova Dock. Salvor, Tim Mckeil, Beverly M1 and Lois M are all present, and tied up on the dock, moving it to woodside. the trip left late, at 1pm, and arrived around 6pm.
The Nova Docks Canadian Registry was closed August 18th, And I have been told she has been sold to International Ship Repair of Miami Fl.
The plan is the cut the dock in Half, then tow each half to Florida.
the dock was built in 2 pieces and assembled on delivery.

No Life Jacket? – Improvise with pants.
Who needs a life jacket when you’ve got a good set of pants on? My good friend, Michael Carr, demonstrates the lost art of turning clothing into survival gear (in under a minute). (Note: of course, I am not advocating for not using a life jacket while boating. Life jackets always work better than pants.)
