Tips for putting in a wooden dock without getting wet?

I have never liked drysuits, most of my friends swear by them but I have always had them leak etc. I purchased a 7mm wetsuit and you can do 4 docks easy before you even think about being cold. Heck I even ocean surf with it all winter!

www.mythicdrysuits.com, located in Maine, has excellent dry suits which are probably made in China(?), starting at $329 ..... I have one .... need to go get into it and get my dock done .... and stop with the yard work .... already. Is a myth that they are made in Maine, but so what .... they are made in China ..... and sold from Maine .... or something.

Walmart in Plymouth has these large air mattresses, made for camping or something, made by Intex, in their mark down aisle close to the greeting cards .... selling for $9.00 .... and they look like it could easily float a dock section .... you can probably stand up on the floating dock and paddle it all the way to Weirs Beach to go visit The Dive .... which apparently has left the dock area ..... but I digress here .... oops? Hellooooo out there ...... calling The Dive ...... where r u? ...... I need a drink ..... real bad! ..... in order to properly install the dock ..... a good drink always helps with this antique dock installation .... for correct alignment!

Oh well ..... before the Chinese tariffs took effect, you could buy one for $229 .... what I paid ..... but is now $329 ..... so sorry and too bad.
