Random Pictures You Took

Derek, please stop having an interesting life. The rest of us are not worthy.

Just too cool, interesting things most of us will never get to see except for in your pictures.

Here’s a 1500 ton lift Mike. Ivory Coast in 2010.
Putting a new gas compressor package on the ship. Big V16 3500 HP Cat driver and 6 throw Ariel compressor.
It was a big lump to lift. These Scottish guys did an amazing job getting this and a few other big chunks on the ship. Not even a bump... it was very cool to be involved in this job.

Now that’s a cool picture. You can actually make out the shape. Wow.

I’ve seen that thing fly over Calgary approx 20 times over the years. There’s quite a few sites that show where it is and when it will fly over where you are. I’ve gone out to kananaskis country a few times to watch it and it’s always on schedule. Right to the minute. Very cool indeed,,,and fast!! 17,500 MPH.

I'm going to have to look for the ICSS here in Asia. The iPhone app night skies will point it out. Thanks for the reminder Mike.
I have a NASA app on my Macbook that shows the live feeds off the ICSS and a re-runs of the cool stuff like dockings and EVAs. It has links to all kinds of cool stuff so I get watching the damn thing and realize I've burned away an hour often. So interesting.

How far out to sea are you guys? I bet it must be pitch black out there. On a clear night.you'd probably see it from horizon to horizon.

 

[Black 03 Z06]

I have seen some odd stuff fly over but never seen the space station. It is very dark here so visibility is good, sometimes they stop to talk to me.

Not far on this ship Mike. Only about 11 miles from Madura island. However light pollution is minimal (except our own) and 3/4 of the horizon is clear to the water.
I’ll give it a look. I’ve got the time it passes over me here.

You’ll have to bring that teddy bear on the mountain cruise as well as up to Cold Lake.
