Kurt, some guys use the fixed aluminum docks you take in & out each season, but with a 3' tide it can make tying up boats a real pain. The people on the other side of the cove had a floating dock, but it got beat to hell in a storm. Our side of the cove is better protected.

Cables are a neat idea... the walkway keeping it pushed out and the cables keeping it straight. Only problem here is that I'd be out over 30', and the whole length will be dock, so the cables would be in the way.
