Was it really foggy? Like you said, there aren’t really any wellheads out there like you have inshore. Everything out there is a pretty good size structure.

It was likely foggy. Its possible that the missing guy in the bow was keeping a watch in the fog. Maybe the radar wasn't functioning? The Black Oak cam won't see through the fog.

According to NOAA [quote] Fog forms when the temperature and dew point of the air approach the same value (i.e., dew-point spread is less than 5°F) either through cooling of the air (producing advection, adiation, or upslope fog) or by adding enough moisture to raise the dew point producing steam or frontal fog).

This was the weather Tuesday morning. At 5:45 (incident around 6:30) the air temp and dew point were exactly the same (48.2°) and 100% humidity.
