Balancing Act

The crew climbed to the top of the pilings today to install a new platform for our winch. You can feel the sway of each gust of when you’re nearly 30 feet above the river. Luckily, no tumbles today. We also continued hanging nets and securing weights to deploy the heart, jigger, and lead sections of the trap. Another big step forward.
