Strip Ship

USS Orion AS-18

The workboat nudges in between AMERICAN BANKER and ORION.

 

 

Loading the parts up.

 

 

Lowering the parts down to the workboat.

 

 

After all the parts were loaded to the workboat, we hiked back across 5 ships to get to the edge of the nest, where the workboat picked us up. We got a scare when we realized that Mike Eacho wasn't with us! The workboat circled around to ORION and blew its whistle several times, then circled back to the end of the nest again. Mike finally showed up, to our relief! He had heard the time of departure wrong, and was searching through ORION for the rest of us after we had all left. Of course, we all gave him a hard time about missing movement!!
