Something completely different

Yesterday's blip was not complety understood I am afraid. It was not only a mudmat which was transported on the barge, the mudmat is the base and therefore part of the jacket. If you check this picture you'll understand everything. This barge was moored on the stern of the Hermod yesterday, two cranes were connected to the jacket and it was lifted horizontally off the barge. Then one crane lowered her big block which resulted in an up-ending of the jacket. Finally it was lowered to the seafloor which you can see on this picture. Get the picture now?
When taking this picture I was afraid that the Retriever would ruin it, but now I think it gives it some extra.
By the way; you see the tiny people working on top of the jacket?
