Working on the water original open office plan

The men pulled into the landing’s parking lot in a big, sweeping half circle, piled out of the truck and stepped quickly to their pre-launch tasks. Some loaded gear from the truck bed up and onto the pontoon’s deck. One transferred a jerry can of spare fuel. One moved the charged battery. One went to the boat’s helm and began the process of making sure the motor was ready to crank.

The truck’s driver released the boat’s connections to the trailer, then returned to the wheel and backed the rig smoothly down to the water with no wasted turns or unnecessary motion. When the pontoon floated free, its pilot fired the engine, then backed away through a drifting blue-white haze. Less than a minute later, the crew of four was all aboard. They motored away, ready to begin their day. The welding team responsible for upkeep on the Pickwick Dam looks was clocked in and on the job.
