Very nice episode, extremely well done Andy. Your drone work on this report is superb, nicely edited. You made those fallen vehicles on the deck of the Julie B. look like Tonka Toys. I will say that final rotation in the turning basin was a noteworthy example of skilled seamanship and coordination by the service tugs. The Kurt J. skipper was churning-up some serious mud in restricted quarters.

As a Mechanical Engineer I am awe struck at the enormity of the job and equally fascinated by the process.. I don't live in the Golden Isles, but we have been visiting since the late 70's. It great to see all of the precautions taken with the eco-system. Thanks for all the great reporting!

Andy, thanks for highlighting the professional technical experts that are making this cleanup happen. Without there knowledge and ingenuity we would’ve hade a permanent stain on our treasured waterways. They still have a great task to accomplish including dredging the spoils and contaminants. Thanks again Andy for documenting this cleanup! Wendell

Fabulous sharp drone video...operator is a PRO.😎 Thank you for sharing. Also like to give a shout out to the tugboat operators👍 for their incredible experience and abilities. They moved and parked that behemoth easier than I can parallel park my car!!!🤣

Fantastic footage today. 1/2 us the best!. Admire the tugboat work..never say 3 is a crowd😚. The Handlng of those little giants. Glad dad showed us girls what he worked. Once.

Thanks for the update, those tug Captains sure got there hands full doing the dance in that narrow area, lots of communication between tugs. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Andy for all the great coverage.

Wonderful footage as usual. Thanks for your continued efforts to keep the public informed on this very important aspect of the Golden Ray saga.

Great video Capt Andy! Loved the drone footage. Looks like three vehicles fell out of section two when they were loading it on the barge, dangerous work, but these professionals make a dangerous job look easy. I don’t know the first one of them but I’m proud of all of them just the same. And a tip of the hat to those Tug boat Captains they also make a dangerous job look easy. And thank you for keeping us all informed and stay safe out there!

Fantastic report, Andy.. The drone footage is priceless, so well done. You are doing a wonderful job.

Thank you Andy. This is amazing.

some more superb drone footage from Capt Andy, great job - its easy to see many of the issues faced by crews with working round the internal moveable decks that are now sticking out a various precarious angles and now wedged into current position - no wonder this can cause further damage crushing cars and rupturing fuel tanks etc what a nightmare i'm binge watching these vids and hope to catch up very soon

@MinorcanMullet

I got to figure that one out. MM

It's good to see progress, but at this rate the powers that be have got to be rethinking their original salvage plan. 1) Wire cutting is obviously faster and the water is shallow so spud barges used on earlier jobs were entirely feasible. 2) Heck, given the shallow water they could have built a massive cofferdam, drained the water and had at it on "dry land" with cutting torches, just like the scrapper yards. Oh whale, it is what it is.

are these cars being discounted ?

Excellent coverage Andy. Do you know what the cost will be when completed? Thanks for your videos. :-)
