Another truck load of materials for another house on the islands.
I know a guy that runs a landing craft out of Roach Harbor (aluminum LCM-4 clone).
I wonder if one needs a license to tow a landing barge.

I've seen some fly-by-night looking operations out there that would make you wonder. I'm guessing there's quite a bit of demand with all the unserviced islands around with people living on them.

Maybe the keel has been unbolted and removed for some reason.
