That was enjoyable and thanks for all the nice pics. After gazing at all the rigs off the California coast it's nice to see one up close for a change. Stay safe out there.

THANK YOU for the fantastic pics (and vids) of your "typical" workday. Utterly fascinating. Like others said, your Helston looks great!

Thankfully not a typical day for me. This was just my journey to work under exceptional circumstances. Normally it's just a regular helicopter flight

Bunch of men on a boat.... I was expecting something racier, something with a little more estrogen....

Dear Penthouse,

This morning I went out to my car to start another dreary day at the daily grind. As I pushed my key gently into the slot, I noticed my next door neighbor stepping out to get her paper. It was at this point I decided that today was going to be different. Today, I was going to be the master, baiting the prize which had until then eluded me.

Teasingly, I softly nudged the key to turn just enough to excite the starter. It groaned in anticipation but was never satisfied. Again and again I did this until I could see in the rear view mirror my neighbor looking, wondering....

I stepped out of the car. It had served it's purpose for today. It was time to put all those emasculating chick-flick movies to work peppered with a little dignity and savoir faire from every James Bond movie I could think of. I needed a new ride, and I needed it bad.... and she didn't know it yet, but she was going to give it to me.

Great photos. I have not been to Aberdeen in 25 years and it has changed a lot in that time. Many thanks.

(Q5? immediately goes online to search for bronze Helson dive watch...... :facepalm: )

It's a Shark Diver I believe, damn nice watches a few of which have sold here in the past.



Did they fish that rig out of the scrap yard? Looks to be an old design to me, very old for a rig.

Cool photos.. I had to do some work on a rig a few years back but it was only a couple miles offshore. Looks like your commute out there was a bit longer than mine lol
