Big Skies

I was just riding around, looking at the sights but it was such a warm sunny day at Marseillan Plage in early October. But the sky was wonderful and the 'light' superb.

But a pity about the name of this place, the 'Grau de Pisse-Saumes'. This is the southern channel between the Etang de Thau and the Mediterranean Sea.

The Sky....look at the sky!

The channel could be anywhere, but only in SW France is there sky like this in October.

But, hey what's this?

It is an Automated Boat Storage and Handling Facility. We in the engineering community in the UK would call this a 'ABSHF'

Drive up in your little weekender

The equipment takes over

Your boat is transporter into storage

And placed in a rack. There are 258 storage places in this facility, all available in 4 minutes.

Clever stuff. I built facilities like this for Air Cargo handling for the RAF. Memory jogged!
