Default Close call offshore this morning
After loading and backloading five lifts this morning, we hooked up the personnel basket to put some guys on the boat and then the boom winch decided to fail internally and the ratchet pawl assembly failed to catch with two men hanging 70 ft above the water. Luckily they are ok. This could have been real bad.

Man I sure hope you guys have all your paperwork in line. Glad everyone is okay. I hate the fact none of our cranes have weight indicators, once you pull it off the boat you are committed.

Yep, they hit the water. They had already climbed up on the boat landing by the time I got to the production deck. Hell, after they dried off, they wanted to swing onto the boat and go run the field, but the area supervisor and HS&E sent them in to get checked out. They got back out this afternoon, and it hit them how close they came to getting seriously injured or killed. I have some troopers on my crew. Glad they're still here.
