A Canadian couple with their lovely little dog Rosie joined us for the tour. There are only a few pilotes left to set. Twelve or fifteen or so, I believe, I don't recall exactly. They are concentrating on half of the plancha at the moment, including one of the boat landings. Maybe it's my imagination, but the pier looks like it may be a bit wider than the original, but it's also set off a bit to the side from where the original was due to the inability to set new pilotes where the former ones were.

Frankly, we were impressed with what we saw, though I'm not an expert on construction, so I can't really comment on the quality of the work. It certainly looked good to us.

Like the puppy dog said after its tail got caught in the door: it won't be long now! B-)

The view of the pier construction yesterday afternoon.

My wife is at the far end of the plancha taking a photo of me taking a photo.
