BTW that is the main reason why I let the mangroves grow as wild as
they are on the banks (ask Wayne). It holds the dirt so the canal
won't "collapse". Nature beats technology every time.
Just be sure to duck on your way out ;-)

I thought you were just trying to camouflage your dock and boat, good
job too, along with some navigational challenges for the uninitiated.

I am not afraid of snakes.

I never was either, but water moccasins changed me. I was walking along
a RR track in Florida, when I stopped to look at a swamp. Must of been a
1/2 dozen of the things that swam over to have a look at me. A couple
even started to climb out of the swamp towards me. I took that as a
reason to keep walking, quickly. Around here, the snakes I come upon,
head away.

Same thing happened to me in Florida. Walking along a canal, moccasin
swimming, headed right for the bank and started up. I took off.
Luckily I could run fast back then.
