> A sign of Land
One day hundreds of dragonflies landed on the ship. This is a sign that land is close, and these poor insects were blown offshore by winds. Their only prospect is to finish as food for the fishes.
 > The Ursa Platform
The Ursa Platform is one of the largest tension leg platforms in the world. It exploits oil reserve located more than 4000 meters deep in the Gulf of Mexico sediments.
 > Rare encounter
Appearing suddenly on the horizon is the silhouette of the USS Oriskany, a Vietnam-days aircraft carrier. The 888-foot, rusted ship is seen here  towed to Beaumont, Texas, to ride out the hurricane season at the Maritime Administration Reserve Fleet Facility. The relocation is the latest in a long string of delays in making the Oriskany the first Naval vessel and largest ship to be sunk intentionally as an artificial reef.
