This boat hoist, on the North Kohala coast, is used to launch small boats off trailers and into the water. I’ve featured it before (here), being engulfed by towering waves. All that salt water has undermined the integrity of the structure, but despite some large holes in the very rusty metal structure, people still launch boats here. All I can say is, I hope those boats are insured.
I wonder what is holding it together?

Not much. I once worked on an oil tanker when a huge valve on a steam pipe blew out. Close examination showed the pipe consisted entirely of rust and many layers of paint!

That sounds dangerous to me!

It was. If someone had been standing there, it would probably have done them in!

A picturesque bit of rust, Graham.

Very picturesque. The views are lovely there and the rust is representative of the run down nature of the place, which was once an old sugar port.
