Any suggestions for the dumb ass captain?

Dry dock and an angle grinder ?

thats sounds great but they are pulling the rig and the other end is on the anchor im sure the grown ups will think of sumthing or blame the wee guys.

Wee guy, wetsuit and a nail-file ?

i think that could just be the plan but they will spend $100000000 then think
"we better get a wee man in a wet suit with a nail-file because we dont really know what we are talking about".

i think i will put it to them in the meeting but they will say no thats to much money then word it so they came up with it and make them selfs look good. bloody grown ups!

they will fbreak it or fix it my money is on break it.

Maybe he should pack his bags!!

Just finished a pig of a rig shift myself in Egypt, ours was interesting, but not as interesting as that!

Good luck with it........

I could ask the Captain on here, but wouldnt expect much!

Not quite on the same scale, but last year at Dunbar our dive boat captain reversed over a mooring line and got it wrapped around the shaft. Luckily we had a few divers on board  and it was low tide so we could actually push on the bottom, but it satill took 2 of us over and hour to cut the rope away using hacksaws and knives. Good luck with your bigger scale version!
