Shipyard Shenanigans

On Sunday, some friends and I rode upon bicycles into the shipyard near from where our floating home is docked. Making sure to ask for authorization before entering, we found the guards and workers to be remarkably welcoming and friendly. So much so, that we even managed to get a guided tour of a massive crane used for lifting containers. The view at the top was impressive, and the photos we took, even more so. Always requesting permission, we managed to climb onto a host of heavy machinery and trucks, and got notably dusty and greasy in the process. Good times.


Tractor.

Bulldozer.

The crane.

The view from the control box. You can see the ship in the distance.

At the controls. Oh boy!
