Heres a couple of shots down through the moonpool area... Again, keep in mind that we are 35-40 feet above the water line here in the moonpool...

Ordinarily there is a slip joint located here but since the stack is on deck and we are not currently drilling, there is no need for it...

Unfortunately the pics do not portray the depth of field and therefore the height of these splashes... Some of them were almost up onto the deck... and I was getting quite wet from the spray coming off of them... In one of the shots, you see a hose hanging down through the image, this is a jumper hose for the Choke/Kill lines... It has a gooseneck at one end of it, and it is part of the well control system... This hose is rated for 10,000 PSI, and it has a 3.0" ID, and is around 6.5 to 7 inches OD... It's really big, and looks pretty puny in the image...
