Rota Harbor Update
A third pier was under construction in February 2009.
Fred Beebe (HT2 - 1976-1980 - R-1 Flex Hose and Pipe Shop) sent us a set of photos of the completed pier.
Not sure how he came by it. When Ed Pado and I were there in 2009, we were told we may be shot if we were seen with a camera!
