Fishing At The Docks

My dad was out from Oregon last week for a visit. He always enjoys coming out to Pocomoke City and he always marvels at the changes from year to year. We enjoyed golfing at Winterquarters and catching a few catfish down at the docks.

Fishing has always been one of my favorite pastimes. It is also something that I never quite find enough time to enjoy. I use to marvel at the apparent limited use and undiscovered nature of the Pocomoke River and I continue to do so to this day. There are simply not many places in the country where one can sit on a bench at a city dock catching dinner while an eagle flys at tree top level overhead. Yet, such is the case in Pocomoke City.

One thing I noticed while dad and I chatted was the lack of seating that was available for the public on our boardwalk piers. Very little indeed. After dad went back home, I mentioned it to the City Manager and asked him to order some additional benches which we could anchor to the boardwalk at various locations. I believe there are many who enjoy taking a walk and would like to simply take the time to watch the river flow past as they muse on the events of the day while seated in a comfortable location.

If you might be interested in purchasing one of these benches as a memorial for a loved one, please let me know. I think it would be great to have these benches available and a nice plaque placed on them indicating in whose memory they were donated.
