Just back from ramp tour and it's not nice. The 'fix' will be fine if the water rises 18" but in the meantime the ramps behind the arena are terrible. Saw a guy sting a prop on his 14' Lund outfit last night trying to load. Just no water. The ramps in front of the OPP Detachment are somewhat better. Either way expect major delays in launching.
The fix is done as best as the lower Trent will allow us to do. My work was there doing to work on Tuesday, I was in the back hoe and another guy from our work on the excavater. It is the best they will allow us to do guys. They will not allow any machinery in the water whatsoever. Like said earlier, we put 6 inch shot rock in and the fines were washed out of it before we put it in. The ramp should be good once the water level goes up but till then be careful as it is on the shallow side for sure.
