**Phill** · 27-Jan-12, 15:29

Does anyone know when they plan to drag out the pipeline from Wester?
(tried phoning them to ask but no answer)

Edit:Ooops. PipEline obviously, not pipline. Doh

Aye, not exactly a calm sea out there.
Is it normally in time with the high tide?

Cheers

We were at Auchengill today and the waves were really crashing in.

**sistevens** · 27-Jan-12, 18:26

My brother is on nightshift tonight which is when its supposed to go out but the tide is too strong for the divers to get out so if it doesnt go ahead tonight then it should be 2morrow

drove past earlier tonight on way to Thurso and plenty of action going on there but with the weather as it is, may be postponed. I'll be trying for a few pics myself

The pipe was towed out on saturday and the tugs are currently about 3/4 miles E of Staxigoe making adjustments.
