Todays update.

The large crane finally put in an appearance from the depths of the ship.
It is a monster, a Terrex-Demag TC2800.
Docs show it as built in Denmark and it does have some Danish notices on it.
KCWind.com on the side.
I shall upload some photos shortly.
The ship sailed this afternoon and the wharf is chock a bloc, it is an amazing sight.
What I originally thought were turbines are in fact the nacelles that the blades attach to, and what I thought were the masts are the turbines. They are truly large.
There is no sign at all of any masts. I can only assume that they have been built here.
I'll try and download some photos now from my camera and hopefully upload some before I fall asleep.

Mike
