Wish I could remember it as well. I worked for James Scot so I tended to move around a lot. I know I've been on it but no idea when or why or for how long. My sole recollection is of my sleeping in rec area behind a survival suit rack with somebody else sleeping under a pool table. I know its not a dream 'cos I took a pic from the barge of it. Maybe we were stranded on it by bad weather. Whatever, that really is my only memory.
It was on a day like this during Christmas of 1983 that my hard hat was whipped off my head on the Cormorant helideck whilst on a chopper shift change. It hit the props putting the chopper out of service, I was a hero on the Treasure Hunter where they couldn't get to work but those on the platform, who I was stuck with and couldn't get off work for around another 12 to 15 hours, wanted me to walk the plank! Does any one remember this event?

Yes, I was H.L.O. on the Hunter, now on Cormorant.
