On Wednesday, Nov 10th, I was at the site and an employee told me that the Mount was not coming out of the water this year. The engine refit will happen with the Mount afloat. According to this gentleman, at least two holes will be cut, one through the side, and the other down through the decking to allow the present engines to be extracted. No work will actually begin until the new engines are physically on site.

Sounds like a big project to do during the coldest season of the year. This same gentleman said that a big concern is heating tand venting the work area safely with respect to the cleaning that has to be done which involves years of old, oily residue (pronounced flammable).

Good Luck to the Mount crew !!
