Not sure how high our big one goes.  Guessing higher?  I never thought that
¨much about it.  It's used to paint the sides of the ship.  It sits on the
pier ¨and stretches over the water to the ship.  'Working over the side' is
what it ¨is called when we do that.  Not something I ever have done or
would ever need.
