2nd October 2009

A marathon day for the pilers, started work at 6.30 am and finished at 6.00pm. The first problem was that a thief had climbed on to club veranda and used a ladder to get to Tam's dory from which they stole the outboard. Once the dory had been retrieved from the marsh near the cut the 2 upstream piles were driven to a set which occurred when they were about a metre further in then the others. When the tide rose the barge was moved down to the downstream end of the club to drive the last of the smaller veranda piles.
