Oooops! ?
As of this time, it has sunk completely. Not even the top mast is visible.
Wants log-in info. Sucks.
Well I'm not mad at Bob anymore, I thought he ignored me! :-)
Mikek
Oil supply boat, no mast but it does have a helicopter pad.
Mikek
'guest' works for both.
If you go around 360*, you can't miss it.

I've made similar mistakes on several occasions -- usually when trying to compose two notes at the same time. :< One of these days, I'm likely to "publish" something that was intended to be VERY private! :-/
Ya, when I saw what I did, my thought went to a name shift and making up an email pouring out all kinds of lurid private info.
Mikek btw, the suns up, you can see the boat better, but it was neat at night with the lights around the helicopter pad. Use Guest for name and password.
Always amusing to see that much *above* the water line and ponder what sort of mass lies below! "Surely it should displace more than *that*!" :>
They had to purge most of the ballast to get it into the marina, which is in St. Andrews Bay. It has huge tanks for carrying drilling mud for oil wells. So it is setting very high. I'll be there later today, I'll see if I can get some markings.

I checked the waterline numbers, it is setting at 12ft, the international load line mark is at 21 ft. So, it can sink 9 more ft.
Mikek
Wow! That's a sh*tload (boatload?) of mud! Still impressive to see how much stands (will stand) *above* the waterline!
