Fun stuff at work

Hey, it's been a while but cool stuff happened today at the boat. First of all we've got this important inspection coming up next week, RFO (ready for operation), and the cutter needs to be immaculate. So, what that meant for me and Johnny D is that the bilges needed to be cleaned and what not and the bilges under the main engines get oil in them and they're hard to get to. Here's some pictures of how much fun I had today.



This is me right after I got down into the space, the deck is roughly even with my ears right now.


And this was my world for about an hour and a half or so. It's about 4 feet wide with 2 feet of head room where the picture was taken from and I had to crawl under that gray pipe to get to the back but there is no room to get out from under the pipe, so I got to lay down in the oil a little.

Here is a link to a video of the end of the oh-so-fun event. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4956444351553801304&hl=en
