Offshore Again
October 26th, 2004 by James
Ten days onshore, and then back to the C-Legacy. We have the pipeline dewatered now, and things are running along smoothly again for the drying phase. I snapped a few more photos from the Legacy of the Holstein platform:
I also got some shots while we were taking on fuel from the C-Pacer. I’ve never refueled offshore before so this was a pretty interesting (and stressful) operation to manage. We saved a lot of time by not having to come back to shore to refuel and the operation went off without a hitch.
During the operation we used our Fanbeam positioning system to DP off of the reflectors on the Holstein platform. We moved away about 100 meters from the platform and set up a fanbeam reflector on the deck of the C-Legacy. The C_Pacer came by on their way to the Deepwater Horizon and set up their DP so that they could position based on our reflector and stay about 30 feet away from the Legacy.
