Turn up this morning to see that the access ramp has been installed....that's the good news! The bad news is that the float on the top section fouls the cross beam even though all the drawings were checked by Walcon. John Davis comes down for a consultation; between Cyril and ourselves we devise a proposed pair of brackets to shift the float a foot further up the ramp.
I ring Mike Jackson to see whether he has suitable steel in stock and how long it would take to make and galvanise it. Also ring Walcon to let them know we have a problem.
The ramp is installed with the float removed so at high tide the top section doesn't float and the lower section slopes UP from the midway hinge to the landing pontoon! Not quite as the designer intended.
