Audacia is Allseas’ versatile pipelay vessel, optimised for the execution of small- to large-diameter pipeline projects of any length in all water depths, and for associated work such as the installation of risers and subsea protection frames. The concept for Audacia was developed entirely in-house and she has been operational since 2007.
A length of 225 m places her between Allseas’ dynamically positioned pipelay vessels Solitaire and Lorelay. Precise manoeuvring on full dynamic positioning with a stinger positioned on the bow allow Audacia to work safely in congested areas and lay pipes in very deep water. Pipeline start-ups and lay-downs are executed in very quick time ensuring any disruption to other activities near platforms is minimised. Due to her long length and ship-shape Audacia can accommodate multiple work stations and has a greater pipe hold capacity. Her independence from anchor handlers and large buffer capacity also ensure she is less dependent on pipe off-loading from supply vessels. A high transit speed, high lay speed and large carrying capacity ensure Audacia is highly competitive for pipelay projects anywhere in the world.

Pas de coucher de soleil et pas de lever de soleil, mais de la pluie et encore de la pluie !
No sunrise, no sunset but rain and rain again!
Our president’s crazy, did you hear what he said?
(lyrics to songs, not my words, though spoken prophetically)
What a gorgeous sunrise we had this morning. It got up into the 70's today, it was so warm! I think it's a nice way to end the day too!
In keeping with the group Carolina Roadside: This was taken just outside the door of the truck. Flat walk of 35 feet. Patriots Point, New Bern, North Carolina.Neuse River, New Bern NC.
Shot without the use of a ND filter. The water was just that flat and calm.
This is another capture of a gorgeous sunrise from Miami's Deering Estate. This County Park is opened generally one (1) day monthly for sunrise and/or moonrise photos. It is definitely worth the entrance fee to enjoy such a spectacular event.
Early morning for us was our last New England sunrise as we headed back to New Mexico for home. New England gave us one glorious show of an early morning sunrise as we bid Boston goodbye
Beautiful sunrise at Grand Canyon National Park. This view was captured in early March-2016.
Dear friends, Flickr & Yahoo mail are having problems. I no longer receive notices regarding activities on my photos. This has made it extremely difficult for me to reciprocate comments, favorites, etc. I am hopeful the issue can be resolved in the near future so I can resume reciprocating activities on my postings and enjoy your beautiful photos! Regards,
Alex M.
Lyrics from Fiddler on the roof: Tevye, was reminiscing how his daughter has grown up and how the years have gone by so quickly...

(Tevye)
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
(Golde)
I don't remember growing older
When did they?
(Tevye)
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he get to be so tall?
(Golde)
Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?
(Men)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
(Women)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
(Tevye)
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
(Tevye)
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day
(Perchik)
They look so natural together
(Hodel)
Just like two newlyweds should be
(Perchik & Hodel)
Is there a canopy in store for me?
(All)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
Some splendid light in Powell River, with the Texada Island Ferry doing exactly what the Ghostbusters said not to do...
