"That work is already under way. A battered, rusting boat named the Sea Cat is anchored in about 35 feet next to a Chevron rig in the Grand Isle-25 drilling sector, about four miles out to sea. Jeff Pogue, 37, a diver with Global Industries of New Orleans, pulls a bright yellow helmet over his wet suit and oxygen tank and jumps in. On board is a decompression chamber for deeper dives. "We're doing inspections of lines and structures," says the boat captain, Ross Fengier, who, like so many captains here, is a Cajun. "We're looking for problems and reporting them. There are quite a few leaks all over." Shook explains that while Pogue's equipment includes a digital camera on his helmet and a light, "a lot of it he has to do by touch because it's so muddy down there after the storm."You can also see a picture of Jeff about to jump in at the site. You will have to go to picture #7 to see Jeff. Also I have visited the Platform in picture #6. We were able to close all of the topside valves that are underwater. There were too leaks there that were closed. You can see my pictures of the platform here and here. I hope everyone noticed that they called the Sea Cat “a battered, rusting boat.†I guess it is time for a new paint job. ubi
Jeff Pogue and The Mighty Sea Kitty mentioned in A.P. Bulletin.
It seems a group of reports went offshore to view the damage and ran into the mighty Sea Kitty (Cat). You can see the article as reported by the Palm Beach Post: Many rigs, refineries KO'd: 'It's a mess'. I have seen the article at another online newspaper but this one, had pictures! Below is from the article, which is describing the encounter with the Sea Cat.
