If he wants to operate in the Lagos area he'd better have all the ocean safety equipment.

Launch day, April 2014. Amazing how easily the two pins went in when hulls pulled together with chain blocks.

My lips are sealed After many months of being held up by Portuguese authorities when trying to register the first dredger (IIRC there were something like a dozen different certifications or departments) he then went the easy route with UK reg for all.

Couple of sunset photo's taken last night looking out over the area where they are currently dredging. There, that should cheer you all up. lol

Sandy, now you've really *issed me off. It's wet, windy and 9 degrees here! On the bright side, will be back in Lisboa in 3 weeks and then into Bruce's 5th Jan. No doubt you'll still be there working hard. Graham.

Didn't mean to do that. Honest Guv lol.
Got down to 12C overnight last night. Had to put the heating on.
24C right now. Yes still working hard sweating my nuts off in shorts & crocs.
Yard closes next Friday & re-opens 4th Jan.
Just started organising xmas day BBQ on the waterfront.

Hey Sandy

Not sure Stu. Landscape appears to be changing as soft top mud moves towards
the dredged area. All well here. Ossie returned last week & Bruce hauled out this afternoon. Lowena also.

Assume we are talking about Bruce's Boat Yard?

Never heard it referred to as a marina before.

Yes Bruce's Yard but the marina in question as in the OP post is the marina in the town. On maps it is named as Faro Marina but locally it is called & signposted as the Doca de Recreio. Or something like that lol.
