7:43, I am running out of sunlight (and my wife's patience) and the barge is still so far
So, how far off the deck is the non-contact leg I wonder? More than 6" and less than 24" is my thinking, to put a range on it. Looking forward to seeing the pix after she gets dockside.
I'm waiting to see if we need to "update" what a maximum damage to a successfuly returned stage looks like...
