Crews still working on getting a lifting setup on the booster. About to put two pieces of black foam on either side of the raceway to protect it.

"Is he (diver) wearing a buoyancy device?"
"Uh - he's really buoyant. The trouble will be getting down..."
"Are you trying to say he's fat?"
(chuckle) "kinda"

Now putting the "belly band" under the rocket. Assume it's a broad sling? Gonna use a boom lift to aid in getting it around the booster. Sounds like it will be hooked to a spreader bar (for those who don't know what that is - it's a rigid device, like a frame, to prevent the ends of a sling from coming together when a heavy load is taken up - otherwise the ends would crush a fragile load (like a booster). I use these devices when doing heavy animal / water lifts with a two ton hoist.

I just saw the Dragon chasing the station by about 20 seconds. Very bright pass here in Vancouver.
The sighting info for the Dragon (object 43827) on heavens-above and satflare doesn't seem to be up to date.

Sounds like a pretty significant update to me...
Caught some pictures from Gator's (fka Milliken's Reef) as the lift was happening...

Reposting these out of the discussion thread so they don't get lost.
Don't give me the like, follow the links and give the likes to the OPs.
Booster out of the water and the crew is starting to show up. Should be interesting seeing the legs removed.
