Kudos to the lone brave Maule pilot on that rig. Interesting to see the scale of that plane next to the Cub.

Does the rig move with the waves/wind, or is it sort of static?

Does the rig move with the waves/wind, or is it sort of static?

At approx 50,000 tons ?

And supposedly secured with 8 or more anchors.

 

Hopefully not. :biggrin:

Well, they must move sometimes! This was the view from my office for most of last year's spring:
