The large Clathrates seem to have been ejected primarily in the area North West of the BOP. Saw those when they did sonar scans in that area. Also some North East of the BOP where the wreckage from the Deep Horizon rig seems to be located. They have been staying away form those areas. What we see near the BOP now are tiny clathrates, probably what remains of larger clathrates that have dissolved. They definitely are doing a lot of work near the BOP now so perhaps they need to stay close. At any rate, water clarity has seriously degraded. Granted could be due to the recent uptick in activity, but the degradation has been steady since they Shut In the well. Almost looks like night done there with spot lights, when in the past any light at all would illuminate vast areas for view.

Agree with all your observations. Been looking at the multiviews for the past half hour. Looks like they are either allowing a line to be purged, or spraying from a hose onto what I think is the BOP stack assembly.
Hopefully something has not sprung a leak. HOS 1 squidly in question. Approx time: 10:50PM EST.
