And finally, the drive home to "paradise island".

These pictures are from my phone, crude and dark but show a bit more detail.

I do have to say that I would have liked to get the carrier a bit further forward on the trailer for weight distribution between the tuck and trailer. The roads were quite icy around Brockville and I could have used a bit more on the truck to give better steering.

I have done a number of Carrier moves, usually with a runner unlike this stone. I like cross chaining with binders on each chain and that is what works for me and the load was very happy and did not slop on the track / road wheels at all.

The unload will happen after the new year, we will use a 8 ton excavator and a full size tractor to lower it to the ground over the ramps, one acting as the tug the other as the brake.

As i'm on my holidays it will just have to wait as that was one full day crucified.

Hope you all enjoyed it. My thanks once again to James Dennis for taking the pictures and supplying the coffee.
