On the rainy night of the 7th of December, a vessel designed for the sea,
that spent all it's life on solid ground.

For just a little while, was airbourne.









In a haze of adrenalin, light drizzle and Raju's spot light, 2 dis-membered hulls and assorted thingamajiks were un-ceremoniously loaded on to two flat bed trucks.

I also realised that nothing can faze a crane operator. Sure he is lifting a two tonne hull, from a hangar in Sadashivanagar on to a truck, but not for moment did his face display anything more than the bored sweatiness of... well a crane operator. I guess nothing is really impressive when you've got it at the end of your hook. Dangling, in total helplessness... sort of pathetic really.
