Trust me, leaving it floating will keep you sane. Trying to sink wood posts, even with a fat bucket of concrete, is a lesson in futility. Fresh unsaturated wood floats really well.
If you have the ability to draw down the pond so you don't have to work in the water, then a fixed dock becomes much easier.
I wish I made a float dock, simply because my pond level goes up and down quite a lot. A float dock would stay nice and level with the water surface which is much more attractive. The only real drawback is the movement as weight shifts around, which multiplies the effect of drinking too much craft beer.
Oh, and welcome to Pond Boss!
