Remember that crazy steep impassible gangplank due to the tides I posted about earlier? And said it wasn't a "problem," just a "situation" to be managed? Here's the solution: the biggest fender I’ve ever seen, being towed to the ship by dinghy; and then FOUR of those fenders in place, keeping us off the concrete dock to allow the ramp to have a gentler slope.

| The fender is as big as the 2-person rubber dinghy that's towing it! |
 |
The new giant fender in place, really dwarfing our normal fenders (the row of round black balls above it are each about a meter in diameter!) They're "defensas" in Spanish, and I think "defenses" are a great name for fenders.

| A person of normal agility would easily be able to come aboard now. |
