Look where I have been today!
Parked up - two streets down from my home was this amazing vessel - the Kestrel. She looked to me, magnificent, but I had no idea, how magnificent!! I started drawing her, she was nested across from some fantastic historical home's on the Headland's town wall, - an amazing juxtaposition of old and new, and incredible shapes. I was just caught up in making sure the 'colour's worked', and how superficial would I realise that was, once I heard all about her and her special crew.
I was very pleased with her, but I had nobody to share her with, who would appreciate her, - perhaps the owners I thought, and started googling. Subsea 7, are a huge international company involved in the Gas and Oil industries - through the wifi I sent my image to them, not expecting a reply. One amazing and responsive company - Julie replied in minutes, and the next thing I was invited on the kestrel. That's when my life started to feel small - as John the Off Shore Manger, and Rob (local to Hartlepool) the Vessel Superintendent started to explain to me her job! Its all about the divers!!
John is trying to explain the very basics to me - I am constantly astounded!!
Then Rob insisted we went up onto the helipad!!
Woah! Thank you everyone - Subsea 7 - Julie, John, Rob and THE CAPTAIN!!
