Careful with that block, Eugeno!


With the pedestrian area declared finished, the engineeering focus has moved to the harbour, where for the last couple of weeks there has been diggin, dredgin and underwater concrete pourin, in pursuit of a new boat-lifting facility.
Here we see an example of the continuing Lego-like construction, involving (many) concrete blocks and a frogman with a very long airline and a communication link to the driver of the crane, who ensures each base block is correctly aligned.

Hours of fun for the retired or holidaying spectators! Next month - watching paint dry!


So far, nothing has been dropped - but there are many, many more blocks!


And - on the subject of engineering feats, take a look at this sent by Barry in Paleohora. Nothing more needs to be said!
