Mt. Pleasant pier foundation and a
wave from Michael
My Saturday rounds start at the Pearman ramp.
Here is the Pearman worksite - note that all the Pearman supports have been
leveled

In the distance is the jackup barge, parked at C-2

While I was walking up the Grace ramp, I saw a barge with an excavator
being pushed toward the port. Richie said this was Michael so he
phoned Michael and Michael waved back

Here is the progress with drilling C-4 to C-1 supports. C-4 has been
drilled for explosives, the top of C-3 has been drilled from the
top of the jackup barge and C-2 looks like it is being prepared for
drilling. C-1
has already been drilled (as shown in the link shoing both D-28 and C1).

A closer look at C-4 - C-1

From here, you can see that the Pearman supports have all been
unbuilt to the red lines and ready for building the Mt. Pleasant observation
and fishing pier

and in the background, the Coleman Recycle Center is getting a clean-up

Something new - a Jackie and his grapple on the left and on the right,
is Scotty and a rather large
electromagnet - picking of the residual pieces of rebar. Neil Myers
is hidden between the two.
