Grounding for a floating restaurant

[bkelly]

Any thoughts or leads on grounding of a floating restaurant/ bar. The service will be located on shore. Ground rods and gec at the service. water service is pex, bonding of metal structure to the equipment grounding conductor? Any ideas?

Just fill a Rubbermaid garbage barrel full of dirt and drive a ground rod into it.

I can't take credit for it though...that was a twist on a famous line from the late Bennie Palmer who was a prolific member here several years ago. But it was just totally appropriate for the question at hand.

Unless you test it, you would need two barrels 6' apart.
