While enjoying a slow ride one day, I noticed some people at a dock doing some strange things. One was in the water, with a shovel a short but safe distance from the stern, and another was holding a dock line and the boat's engine seemed to be going, as there seemed to be some prop wash.

Took some reflection to arrive at the conclusion that they were assisting the migration to migrate elsewhere.

The boat did seem new and perhaps its draft was greater than that which it replaced and a little creative thinking was required to solve the draft dilemma.
