Recap from Biloxi

Just wanted to share some sketches I made on my Molly while I worked on the special project down at Biloxi. Long time since I could actually sketch anything...The site was near an old shipyard and had an abandoned storage building nextdoor. That is the first image...

I mentioned on the previous post I was very anxious to get to PR. I got to the Gulfport airport two hours before hand. I forgot this was not PR. Things move when there is not much people. The second image is my view from Gate 7 of the airport.Biloxi is oyster and shrimp industry as I posted earlier. Now add the oil skimmers that are deployed all over the transects of the Gulf of Mexico. This is a sketch of a crew receiving oil contaminated boom material for decontamination. Note that direct contact is using tyvek suits while the crane operator uses standard PPE (helmet, gloves, floater device and high visibility jackets).
It is not news that BP is contracting local ships to deploy the boom. They are also involving the local communities for the cleanup activities. As for me, I am adjusting my schedule to Puerto Rico again. Old projects are screaming up in vengeance.
