Hi Dennis, Hope you guys are OK. Safe and secure! This could be a nasty one! We had a couple days of the remnants of Harvey last week, wet and windy but not too bad. We are starting to de-mobalize the rig out here in the Gulf. We are a bit further west of the projected path but they are not taking any chances. I might be out here for another day or so.
Take care!!!!!!
