Dad didn't notice Bill and me in the shadow until we pointed out ourselves when reminiscing twenty years or so later. At the right edge of the photo is a white concrete base with what appears to be a pair of cable guides on top. This could be part of the electric winch that was used to pull the boats from the water to their parking spaces.
