    Miscommunication seems to be a direct result of misplaced, text based sarcasm.

    So you're shopping for a new front door then?

    i'm betting they are sinking the ship as a breakwater. its weird though, since they usually take all of the masts and other topside ancillaries off.

    Hahaha you guys are sure creative It's a sand trowing ship. First they created a ring dike and now they are blowing the sand up onto the seabed to create new land.

    We Dutch are experts on this area, we did some Japanese airport, the area I am standing on when taking this picture, the Dubai palm islands and plenty more. It is a pity I cannot show you the huge amount of photo's my dad took when they built the first part of this in the 70's.
