    I was thinking that dredging with the mini would take forever, but those scoops were surprisingly large, and you moved way more mud than I expected. That was a tidy very job of losing the spoil as well. I bet that's going to grow some nice grass when it dries. A shame about the strip of land at the end of the cove. It would be lovely being able to take a wee boat out to the big pond, providing the owner was happy.
