1st Update from Terry Tull
The ship is still in dry dock. We hope it will come out late this week. Weather is cold and rainy again. Bottom work of sandblasting and welding where sandblasting uncovers an issue continues. Yesterday a huge tank was dropped on the main deck and one of the fuel tanks was pumped dry into it. The tank was cleared of fumes. It was then power-washed and scraped. This work was completed around midnight. The dry dock crew continues on. Current plans are for the rest of the crew to join them Tuesday next week. The ship will need some cleanup before she sails as well as provisions for at least 15 or 16 days of meals. More tomorrow. Terry Tull
