At least he is in a cab, protected from rain and snow, as he sits, swivels the cab, and moves stones from one place to another. I think you will give us a much better view of all this than the other site. Work, just watch, a great way to plan a day.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-49761645827375293422018-01-29T08:40:52.782-05:002018-01-29T08:40:52.782-05:00Hari OM
Wwwhhhheeeeeeeee, I want to be on that lit...Hari OM<br />Wwwhhhheeeeeeeee, I want to be on that little red boat!!! I suppose the locals are used to the ferry thing, but RORO will be a major step forward. Interestingly, we are having some upgrade to the mainland side of our ferry, so that the boat doesn't have to do a virtual 'u'turn to dock; being tidal also adds interest and the whole process takes several minutes longer than all the commuters are happy with, so a straight-on dock is being created. Ours are RORO and always have been... but there is a much-remembered (after 15 years) situation where one end of the ferry would not drop, so IT reversed and all 40 vehicles on it had to reverse up the ramp to get off!!!
