Phone bench on dock . . .

If you get tired of watching the fog, you can make a phone call while sitting on this well placed bench! If several people need to use the phone, they won't get tired standing waiting! Did you notice that the bench only has front legs and the bench is actually connected to the railing for support? Since this is my first time seeing this , I don't know if the tide is in because of winter or if the water usually comes this close to the shore.
