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.
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.

Since my wellhead theory was pretty much debunked, I think this is most likely what happened. Explains why guy was on the bow.
Terrible situation regardless. When it’s socked in out there sometimes you can’t even see the front of your own boat.
