Spring has come to Gilbert Lodge and Saturday, May 8th, is a 70 degree day.   Mark and Paula are putting in their new 30-foot boat dock from Nisswa Dock.  It came as ten-foot-long frame sections that easily link together. 

Mark is wearing rubber waders that allow him to be chest-deep in water without getting wet.  The waders are plenty baggy making his 165 pound physique look like 225 pounds.   

The aluminum dock frame is then covered with cedar wood decking, which comes in 5-foot-long sections.  Paula is giving the high-five while resting before getting the next section. 

Note a fishing boat going by in the background.  This lake is known for bass and perch.  

Here is that handsome couple showing off the completed dock at Gilbert Lodge.  It took just over an hour to install.  

A 20-foot pontoon boat, with 40-horse motor, will be delivered soon.  We are also running a "Name the Boat" contest.  Entries so far include: Titanic, Andria Doria, Bismarck, Lusitania, the Guppy, and the Mighty Minnow.  Is this boat safe? 

Stay tuned for the conclusion of this exciting contest.
