HMR Dark Platforms

[Steve Hastings]

We brought Passion up the rhumbline on Saturday/Sunday and passed three platforms without lights. Thought I would pass the information along.

These are the boat coordinates as we passed the platforms.

Two of these unlit platforms were taken as they passed by our beam, both were about ? mile off our starboard rail and about 3/8 of a mile apart on a line parallel to the rhumb line, we were tracking 50? at the time.
N28?37.053?, W095?39.086? (4 legged platform)

N28?37.266?, W095?38.740 (single leg platform)

The third platform was about 1/4 mile off our port beam at:

N28 deg. 30.829', W095 deg. 49.356' (4 legged platform)

The moon was big and bright so it was not difficult to see the structures.
