Pearman Drilling and Cleanup
Not only is there the P-11 to P-13 dropping of Grace's truss, but
there is Pearman retrieval of the east Pearman cantilever as well
as Mickey's guys are back drilling - C-2 with the jackup barge and
the D-28 substructure with the John Henry
A nice view of the Grace and Pearman Cantilever trusses
from a different position
One Sparky's way out to the Grace worksite - he passed some of the
recently retrieved Pearman truss debris
A submerged section
and retrieval
and more stuff
cleanup - which is retrieve, bite, chew and pile it up
a shear bite
one word: Jaws
a closer view of a shear bite
While cleaning up, Capt. Bill (I would guess) is repositioning the
jackup barge so that Mickey's guys can resume drilling on C-2. Here

Drilling and blowing
11:44 Drilling C-2
Meanwhile, over at D-28 (Jodi - this comes after D-27) the
John Henry is drilling vertical holes for imploding the D-28 substructure
and another view of D-28 and the John Henry (is Silas doing the drilling?)
But you know Sparky - a budding young artist who cannot resist
inside looks at anything - whether at the macro-level (watch the blast)
or micro-level (explore the inside of a truss section)
Sparky art
More inside looks
Sparky is just an inside kind of guy
