is it Friday today?

got the blue canoe out again...

Look what arrived in port this morning

drew quite a crowd.....








They are eight new, engineless ships/barges (approx 130m each)  under tow from China (where they were made) to Rotterdam where they will be fitted out. Their tow broke so they had to be brought into Las Palmas.
Apparently it's cheaper to have them built in China and towed half way round the world than to make them in Europe. Incredible.
