I will not forget the first time I was at our camp on Winnipesaukee, during the ice out process, the wind shifted in the middle of the night, and drove the ice over to our side of the bay, it woke me up, all the noise it made.
With that said, while I understand the attraction of a permanent dock, I would never go for one, unless I had it sheltered by a brake wall, although wind from an unexpected direction, can even falter that logic, as a fried of mine experienced.
