Docks of Distinction
Not for everyone, but those who have ‘em, love ‘em
By Jerry Hale
hat is it about some docks that makes passing boaters slow down, look twice, and say, “Wow, that’s nice!”?
Sure, size matters. Most of us, however, don’t have the shoreline or resources for one of those mongo docks with three slips, full kitchen, eating space and a small dance floor.
But it’s not “Game-Over” distinctive dock-wise. In this issue, we’ll show you some nifty dock solutions we’ve spotted while traveling about the Lake. Look for one or two ideas that might fit your own dock decorating or functionality needs. Modify them to fit…and voila!, your dock becomes that much more pleasant or practical.
Maybe we’ve even showcased an idea from your dock in the accompanying photos. If we’ve missed a “Dock Delight” you think deserves mention, tell us with an email to

We’ll try to showcase it in a future issue.
And with September and October offering some of the year’s best dining-on-the-dock weather, have a look at the accompanying entertaining ideas. Treat your crew to a “Pirates of the Caribbean” feast: we’ve provided a simple “Buy, Heat and Eat” approach as well as a “Cook It Up Fresh” menu, with tested recipes posted at www.smithmountainlaker.com.
