This is a shot of the wharf/pier at Niue. There is no sand beach anywhere on the island and all vessel traffic must come ashore by way of the wharf. For we small boats with small dinghies, the technique is to come up to the steps, swing the rope in so you can get everyone ashore. Then hook up a bridle to the electric hoist and raise the dinghy up to the height of the concrete. Swing it over and wheel or dolly (provided) it off to the side “parking lot”. The red/white marker you see is one of the leading marks to help guide cargo vessels into the anchorage area.
