Not particularly interesting photos...but it's been my life and view for the last 6 weeks...

Nice one, in my 32 years in the industry i've never sailed out on a rig :thumbs up:

Cool :cool:

Really? How did you get away with that?! Nor have I, am working on a boat-and just getting ready for my first ever chopper crew change, pretty much unheard of for this vessel- talk about being thrown in at the deep end! :)

I thought you were on a semi submersible :oops:
When i worked in Baku they used catamaran type vessels for crew changes, up to 100 passengers for a 2 hour journey.

Mostly crew changed via helicopter, must have flown thousands of flights, maybe got more flying time than some pilots :lol:

Will be intersting to see the chopper landing on your boat, hope the swell is low :Whsitle:

No inuendo type jokes please (ELFMAN) :Whistle:

A highly complex procedure!
Haha, puns ahoy...

I sincerely hope the swell stays down too, cause being the nice and conscientious kinda person I am, I chose to see the crew change through and leave in the last chopper...i can see this coming back to bite me in the ass, and one will not be a happy pup if I get stuck on here for another 2 weeks!

You're an old hand then with all this chopper travel, I'm a new baby to this industry, it's been an eye opener that's for sure!

Rather you than me although sounds like you've got an interesting few weeks ahead ;)

Ta daaa! Choppers done and am at long last at home in my own bed after a chopper, 3 planes and an almost 4 hour drive. A-mazing :)

Nice one, nothing beats the excitement of crew change day.
My journey home starts on Tuesday and will be car, 4 flights including a 15 hour flight from Dubai to Atlanta and finally the 25 minute car ride home :thumbs up:

[LadyR]

Woow that's a long way!! Must cut into your time off too when it takes so long to get anywhere. I couldn't really get excited about coming home til I had made sure everyone else made it home before me, but hearing the chopper arriving finally was the best thing ever :) still a rookie, but learning quick!

Sunset at midnight, and just a really stunning day at sea. It's not a bad life...
