Old marina, had a metal grab handle screwed to piling.
I used that all the time and was very convenient.
New marina I have the 8 foot walk out 'finger pier' with a big pilling at the end.
I have been wondering about something to easily hold onto. At low tide it is a good step down onto the boat and I manage ok. Getting off boat at low tide, I have to step up and grab the piling and its pretty wide. I could imagine actually someone falling into the water someday, If not careful.
Has anyone made a wooden handle to screw on a piling? Rope or whatever?
Curious if this is even an issue to anyone. I am not getting any younger.
And if my 80 year old parents visit, they like going on the boat.
