The Mazapeta Job

This video is dedicated to Tim Parker, my long time boss and friend who passed away a few days ago. Tim is the founder of Parker Diving and we will all miss him very much. Now back to business. This is a Simple though time consuming process. Build a cofferdam, place pump hoses in all necessary compartments, wait for low tide, apply 50 tons of lift to vessel and start pumping. The crane has a capacity of about 250 tons and the tugboat weighs about 300 tons so if she won't float on her own, she will not float at all. Plenty of hard work for those fit to do it. The young guys are sucking up extra hours of double time on Sunday and Martin Luther King day and there is talk of Bonuses.
