Sparky writes A Farewell to Grace
Richie is not only the ace cutter, but watch him operate his grapple
Richie grappling
More grappling
Pio watching the duet for grapple and shear
Richie and Pio - a very good duet
Richie and his jaws
? and the shear
Manny?
Uncoupling a piece of grace - Chris Dangerfield (left) and Charles Spires
(right)
Richie in his other guise - cutting Grace's base
More cutting
Cutting an the sun says goodbye
a flying piece of Grace's base
Pio on an inspection tour
Dale Earnhardt (Steve Demello in disguise) at work
Pulling Grace's base from the barge
Pulling a piece of Grace
Chewing a bit
and depositing what is left over
Day's end
from a different angle
and a final farewell to Grace (Sparky adds a nice touch)
