There appears to be a large static crane being constructed in the entrance to the marina, obviously for either some construction project or to load boats in some way. Any ideas ?? http://imgur.com/a/LiLVG |

I can see it out of my window. It's not doing anything, but it is perhaps too windy! I cannot see anything else in the way of construction activities and it looks a bit too tall for boats. I will keep watch on it.  ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

That was my first thought but I didn't think it would need such a long jib. ------------- Colin |

Isn't there a boat lift on the other side of the Marina, in front of the engineering sheds? ------------- It is no coincidence that in no known language does the phrase 'As pretty as an Airport' appear. Douglas Adams |

There is a boat lift, a green thing. I did have a think that a few years ago there was a static exhibition of big shiny boats in that area and that maybe something similar is planned, but they got those there without a crane. Anyway, being a Sunday it's not moving. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

It will be a bungee jump. People were busy painting signs etc this afternoon. This is the platform upon which you will taken on high, from there to jump. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

I have a two word answer, second being 'off'. No way on this earth will I go up there, let alone jump to my certain doom. I look to the more adventurous (foolhardy, mad, insert adjective of your choice) to do so. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

Somehow I suspected that would be the answer 😆 ------------- Colin |
