Shell to Sea Kayakers visit the Solitaire in Scotland At the crack of dawn on Sunday morning two Shell to Sea Kayaks, the James Connelly and the Ken Saro Wiwa paid an audacious visit to the Solitaire currently lying 1.5 nautical miles off then banks of the Clyde, Scotland. The kayakers wanted to establish for definate whether the ship was returning to Ireland for a second attempt at laying the pipe or was to return to Rotterdam for repairs. Initially radio contact was made with the ship whose bridge crew refused to disclose its intentions. The activists attempted to board the Solitaire but were thwarted by security presence on the pontoon lying alongside the accommodation ladder. They then paddled around to the Stinger where they were only feet away from a high tension cable that was being winched onto a nearby barge. Work continued with complete disregard for the health & safety of the kayakers. The kayak crew continued to attempt communications with the ship's crew for over an hour in order to establish the next destination of the Solitaire but to no avail. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12Did you notice any pipes on the barge? I was planning to have another look during the working week to see if they are still loading or unloading pipes.
Apologies for the poor quality, pictures were taken on a mobile inside a waterproof housing.
There was no sign of any pipes, and both the solitaire and the supply ship alongside were lying high in the water.
