Jerry, Got a good visual & a laugh out of this! A "marina" full of anchored yachts, a chubasco comes in the night & by morning the rock jetty is strewn with yachts! Maybe not such a good idea...

Let us think a cast in place block 3x4x6 ft = 2.66 cy of concrete concrete in the states cost $90.00 per cy so one block will cost $ 240.00 per block just for the concrete. It ain't going to happen

"The U.S. EPA has concluded that a single cruise ship will emit the same amount of sulfur dioxide as 13,100,000 (million) cars and as much soot as over 1,000,000 (million) cars."

Deadly Cruise and Ferry Air Emissions Debate: U.K. Shipping Companies Deceive the Public

  • Bunker Fuel - Nasty Tar Sludge! which explains how bunker fuel - which is
    a tar-like substance left as the residue of the refinery process - is the nastiest and most toxic fuel on planet earth. It is unconscionable to burn it.

    But bunker fuel is the cornerstone of the shipping industry. Cruise and ferry companies burn it all of the time. Why? Because it is dirt cheap and the shipping industry profit handsomely by using it.


    The shipping executives are continuing to try and delay the implementation of the new health regulations. We have been writing about the need for new regulations ever since I started this blog five years ago.

    Over the years, the cruise industry has done just about everything possible to avoid regulation and continue to burn high sulfur fuel. In the U.S., the industry sued the Environmental Protection Agency to keep burning dirty fuel. It has initiated scare tactics saying that jobs in the maritime sector will be lost and passengers will face astronomical fares.

heard some stuff from guys at the Az Sonora meeting in Nogales
  • the boulder size thing is a huge screwup......they are basically papering over it and hoping for the best.Most likely it will work.
  • the excuses listed for lack of progress are pretty much talking points created by flacks to hide the other real problem..out of control graft by state officials that no longer have a easy access to national checkbook after PRI took power. They see the writing on the wall and are trying to make their nut before getting voted out. Anyone considering any bigger business deals might want to wait till the election....the Mordida will decrease dramatically.
  • many do not think cruise ships will every have a successful run here but backed the project for the construction dollars.They even hope it fails but not till it is finished.It will then berth small adventure sized ecotourism ships and multiday fishing charters. Sounds good to me!

I think you are right on this one. The idea of a full sized cruise ship porting there just doesn't look right to me.
Guess its a wait and see.

You know those rocks that were blown to smithereens at Black Mtn from the first blast? We were told that they intend to use those small pieces of rock mixed with concrete to make those boulders.

The Company says the union was paid 750000 pesos! Everyone not doing actual physical work seems to be on the take...

Puerto Peñasco, Sonora-suede non-payment from three months ago, specifically last February 5, carriers of stone materials, domperos, they decided to stop the work of the Home Port a month ago and remain in permanent unemployment, however, tempers rose tone once it was notified to them by Alfredo Vergara Álvarez, who is the holder of the contract for the projectthat they had to let trucks with stones taken from the mine La Herradura, which generated angered workers, who even claimed that they will come out onto the streets of the city to express their dissatisfaction.
In this sense, José Luis López, carrier, said "the only demand that we are doing is to pay us worked, we are not asking for a given weight, since Feb. 5 they have not paid us agreed, there are many affected families, because all of us are not leading the sustenance to our houses, they handled us there are problems in the Consortium", that the Government does not release the money, those are freight and complications relating to them, to us that pay us what is fair, because they want to pay a fee that does not get or to pay for fuel, less the driver".
"We are going to fight here until we pay, work here, here we have to come to pay" emphasized.
On the other hand, said "we hear that Mr Vergara said that the Union 750 thousand pesos for the advance for us, was given which is new, we didn't, we were never informed us that this advancement, which is managed by Carlos Guerrero and Everardo had been Fimbres Ocaña, making it particularly, Fimbres we must clarify this situation".

Not so far fetched, Jerry. Ever come into the cruise ship port at Mazatlan? I've been in and out a few times fishing. The breakwater is made of giant, well for lack of a better description, "concrete jacks," shaped like the same jacks kids play with. They are stacked willy-nilly and seem to interlock together to form the breakwater, with an entrance and channel for the cruise ships to enter/depart. Thought it was kind of odd the first time I saw it, but seems to be effective. Had to scrounge for a pic, but they look like this:
