Caryl Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Grant had a 30 minute chopper ride down Pelorus Sound to a fault at a Vodafone site at Bulwer. On the way they watched some tugs towing an oil rig towards the ship it was to be loaded onto. The ship slowly lowers the central section so they can float the rig over it. Flying over some salmon farms Aiming for the little landing pad halfway up the hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
