11-20-2022 07:54 AMThis time it had nothing to do with the boats and the teams. It was an OSHA safety clause that the cranes are not allowed to operate whenever the wind gusts exceed 25 mph.
I guess it makes sense when there is a big offshore boat hanging out there on a cable......Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
