Anyone watching the Concordia get salvaged?

[Guy Stevens]

It is fun to watch, even though it is a bit like paint drying.

One of the rules in salvage is that you do not want any inertia formed.

Live watch it if you like.

Everynow and then

I'm checking on it every now and again - it's an amazing engineering feat. It is a bit like watching paint dry, but the forces involved are just crazy, wouldn’t want an unexpected inertia!

Yeah, my brother was over there all summer working on the set-up. Not sure if he's over there now or still in BFE Alaska. Doesn't answer his phone.
