Cargo ship

So this place is clearing out pretty good. According to the board outside housing the population is down from 1,100 to 725. That doesn't count the 102 people that left yesterday and the 90 who are leaving in a few minutes.  There are like 150 military folks here due to the offload, so once that's done in several days or so they'll be out of here.  The last flight out is still scheduled for March 5th. When that last flight leaves that'll leave us with a winter population of 159.  I can't wait to get there! I'm itchin to get this thing going.

 So the cargo ship has been here for the better part of a week or so now.  It looks like they're done unloading it now and they're loading it back up with stuff that needs to go back to the US.  I heard at one point there are over a thousand pallets full of recycled trash that would have been loaded into shipping containers to go right back from where it came.


 Here she comes...
 They had to back her in so the right side was out to build the pier...
 You can see the modular pier system on top of everything...
 The "tug" module...

 Building that baby...


 Before the pier...

 More construction...



 After the pier is finished and in place.  Now lets unload that bitch!
