A connector assembly that can include a first tubular member that defines a plurality of apertures through a sidewall thereof, a second tubular member that defines one or more grooves on an outer surface thereof and a plurality of apertures through a sidewall thereof, a plurality of first bolts, a plurality of second bolts, a release ring, and a plurality of release keys. The second member can be disposed within a bore defined by the first member at a first position and a second position relative to the first member. When the first bolts are in a first locked position and the second member is at the first position, a first end of each first bolt can be disposed within a corresponding one of the one or more grooves, and when the second member is in the second position, the second bolts can be in the unlatched position.
