Me replacing the hull. Cut it out. Tack new plate it. Hull was warped to hell. 30+ yrs old. Have to work all the way around with dogs. Weld inside. Back gouge outside. Weld.

Riding belt you were at the mercy of another. Usually not even line of sight.

We P&A’d wells on old platform. All the usual stuff. Cut drive pipe below mud line. Go to pull it. Wont budge. Hung up at bell guide in plus 10. I go down to split the guides. In riding belt. Feet in the water. Hand up on rig hollering about the giant barracudas. 😂🤪
