Day two

Our second day on this side of the dam. You might be able to make out the boats from our previous job site on the opposite side. The water is up by about 2 meters now. Tomorrow we will be screwing down the slats on the pallet. Today we had an action packed session in the morning as we put the two blue pirate planks in (they are still to be decked with planks, but just visible at the approximate center of the image) after using the crane to pull out the old planks. One of them nearly whooshed Sammy out with it as he held on to the rope we put on it just in case it slipped its hook. He was holding it a little too keenly and maybe day dreaming, no harm done and he said it was fun, I think he would have been in the water, but for the lucky chance that the rope caught on a lump of wood, which meant it pulled him parallel with the walkway towards me rather than straight out to sea.
The crane line runs right across the water and the pallet will be strung from it to collect surface flotsam. It hangs directly between the two planks so that the men have something to stand on and scoop more gloop onto it, etc.
At the start of the day there was no rubbish at all, but after a pretty stiff breeze from the left there was a nice collection of bottles and other assorted junk.
