My dad is working on that rig right now! I feel so proud of him and all the others that have to work so hard out there.

This is where I'm heading for my first offshore trip, just getting a trip with no future guarantees. I'll happily sacrifice a Christmas day for the chance of a break that will improve the rest of my life. Mind you the nerves are kicking in now, feel like a 16 year old apprentice again on the first day LOL.

Great picture.

I was part of the original Santa Fe drill crew that did the template, went back tied it in etc for the (then Enterprise Oil) Nelson. Good times and good people. I remember it being like a sauna up the derrick when they lit that flare boom. Wonder if they ever fixed that!? Regards to anyone from those days reading this :)

This is where I call home for most off the year. Still one of the best rigs I've ever worked on.

I worked on there when the accomodation first opened, and was there 10 years, many good times with some great people.

Hey Tiger, you must be due for parole soon.

That's not a very nice comment about poor Jocky, he tries his best, makes great pancakes!
