Lighthouse work party 4/25


What a beautiful day to be out on the water. Sunny and ended up going to 91 degrees. We arrived at the finger pier at the Cape May-Lewes Ferry at 0730 unloaded the vehicles. The Delaware Bay Launch work boat arrived at 0755, we loaded our tools and materials and off we were to Harbor of Refuge. Our main goal was to prep the lower dock for the Army Corps of Engineers to offload the new caisson door this coming week. WE had it finished before noon and we also got the new steps to the upper dock in place, repaired the substructure of the upper dock and got the safety system in place marking the edges of the dock. Plus the interior of the lighthouse was cleaned in preparation of our summer tours. We were picked up by the work boat at 1420 and stopped at Delaware East End to inspect it in preparation for our tours. It also with stood the winter. Back on shore a little after 1400 and thus ended another successful work trip.
