About 3 knots tidal flow. They are 2" steel poles, pretty common way to do up here, float the dock and then lift and drop poles into the dock 3-4" pipe and it slides into the mud. End of season pull with crane, flush out mud and rack. We're tidal here so the docks float up and down on them, last boat club not tidal but docks moved with wakes and river levels. 

These are pretty tall as back in the Sandy/Irene days the level went way up and docks came off so they also have clamps near the top.

Here's today's pic - yesterday's docked ship went up to Albany to the turnaround and is headed back south again, full of scrap metal likely.

Found this cool pic from the other night 

Cleaned the props today, I used a mixture of muriatic acid and water, 50/50 wasn’t strong enough so I went a little stronger. Used a plastic scraper to help also.

Caught a great rainbow this summer.

Like most big diesels you can hear the whistle well before 2000 rpms.
