Dunno how long exactly, during cutting a minimum of personel was on board. I was gone by then.
My job was positioning of the platform and directional drilling under the ship.
Wire goes back and forth

I've always had a thing for Meg and I can't explain why.
Not what most guys would call a "hottie" and her drumming is well.....ah....well.......
