My View of Life on the Dock
Yesterday morning the colors were magenta as I fumbled to get the camera set up before the clouds and fog shifted. I finally got the lens cap off only to have the camera blink with the dead battery light and shut down. Today was redemption though.

Boom Truck with Powerblock, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
This is the boom truck for the Western Venture Herring operations. Instead of a team of ten men handling the huge herring nets, the powerblock attached to the boom on this truck will load the net effortlessly so it can be brought to places like Swan Net up in the Blackburn Industrial park to be mended.
8:30AM Niles Beach.
Grab a coffee and muffin at Last Stop Variety with your Where The Locals Go coupon, and head over to Niles.
If you see the tallish balding guy with a camera come up and say hi.

There is a cut out in the middle of the deck of this mooring setting rig in which heavy moorings are lowered and lifted out to be serviced. Moorings are heavy objects which lay on the bottom of the ocean which boats attach a chain and line to secure their boat in the open water.
