…when you have this handy-dandy dry dock in the middle of the
bay. We saw this at Le Marin, the center of marine goings-on on the Martinique
south coast. The platform is submerged for the boat to come up on, then
emerges, allowing them to do their work, in this case, painting the bottom of a
charter boat. There’s a large charter fleet here, and this seems to be a highly
convenient way to do maintenance on the boats. I don’t know if they use it for
non-charter boats.
I loved this dry dock, it was always full when we were there. So much easier to do than a sling.
