R/V Kerry Kelts assembled and on high wheels. This is the Potrok-way of launching the DOSECC drilling platform. Heavy machinery like two oilfield trucks, a crane and a back track supported the way down to the lake shore where equipment was added before the platform finally touches the water. This process of launching was closely observed by all scientists, by the responsible persons of the DOSECC staff and by Capt. Moreteau..
