Hello all,
Time is flying by here in RI. Hard to believe how fast the days go by. The NEB build crew, Hall’s build crew, Jon Williams and the Bella Boys have been extremely busy. As you know the boat was post cured last weekend. This weekend the topsides were painted “Bella Blue”. The stripes get painted this evening.
Prior to the post cure, all the structure had been installed, apart from the Prod. The Keel fin and bulb showed up last week. We will put the fin up on the bulb this week. Then the wetsanding begins.
We are fully into the details and systems install. Sheave boxes, ram foundations, toe rails, stanchions, Winch system, hydro system, steering system, electronics, etc. It seems as soon as we cross something off the worklist, we add 2 more.
On the rig, the internal structure and fittings are underway. The offshore boom came off the mold last week.
