    @@Bigwavemaster1 Right on. I watched the Sea Ranger, about four months ago. It was terrifying. So many questions. But when I saw that rig listing like that, and the support boats were too far away to intervene. Also with the ballast tanks not being used properly. And, the chain reservoirs being filled up with water, because of a engineering flaw. YIKES. I was horrified. So, now I have a new obsession with watching these disasters. You do good work. Thanks. I would like to be on a rig for a period of time, that would give me an opportunity to write the outline for a book. Is there any contact information for this endeavor?

    Spent a large part of my life on Semi-Submersible Rigs in the North Sea. Used to love the real rough weather like shown in this video. Jokingly we would call this "Spot The Standby Boat Weather" and literally it sometimes was so rough that the standby boat would disappear from view apart from the top of their masts such was the size of the waves. I used to feel for the guys working ships in this weather as on a semi sub motion is much reduced.

    My very first trip on this job was at the Deep Sea Pioneer at the Argyle Field. The weather became so bad and the rig getting so battered that they were preparing to shoot their anchors away. I was glad I was on a ship that could roll with the waves and not on that rig 😂

It's admirable that you have taken the time to document his life and some of our own history - sober moment remembering how the sea & air are very unforgiving environments . Great stuff .

    If I didn't get motion sickness, I would like to take a three day ride on a rolling sea. But anything more than three days would get very boring . Would get island fever. There's absolutely nothing to do out there, in the middle of nowhere. Even though it's a large boat, it's still too confining. Would hate having to work in that small world every day. The boredom would be far worse than any storm.

    I've had a few experiences on the North Sea. Back in 2009 I spent 3 weeks in Iceland, 2 weeks in the Faroe Islands, and another week in Iceland. ••• My first taste of the North Sea was an overnight 15h ride on a Smyril ship. I tried going down into my assigned cabin to get some sleep. Worst idea I could've had. 😂 ••• From that point on, I knew I'm someone who needs to not be surrounded by walls. I need to keep my awareness of the ship's motion relative to the sea and the horizon. If I can just see out a window, I'm chill. Otherwise, I'm not having fun. 😂 ••• Once I'd learned that, the rest of the ship and boat trips were 100% chill. ••• In the Faroes, I took a ride on a smaller fishing vessel that doubled as a shuttle between Hvannasund and the small islands of Svínoy and Fugloy. We hit some pretty rough patches, another tourist was almost thrown overboard by a sudden and pretty violent roll to starboard. She barely held on to the railings. I was able to get to her quickly to make sure she was okay. She had that empty stare in her eyes, she had been seriously scared!
