New Boatyard in Samal, Gulf of Davao
06 November 2008 | Samal, Gulf of Davao, Philippines
Wiskun
Construction of the slipway and boatyard is in progress (7�07.25N, 125�40.36E). This will be the only slipway in the gulf and is capable of hauling out up to 250 ton vessels. The slipway is finished, but the boatyard will not be ready until the last quarter of 2008.
Wiskun, our floating home for the last 6 years, has been "sitting" beside the slipway under construction, since December 2007. For the past 10 months, it has gone through several layers of dust and UV rays whilst waiting patiently for the slipway to finish so it can be hauled out of the water. Now, the time is getting near and there is even a date set - November 12, the next high tide.
