Thanks, just a case of me bragging "mine is bigger than yours", and in return I'm reminded it isn't quantity, but quality. And everyone on this thread is responsible for souls on board that make mine look a bit gritty by comparison.

And as a side note, since your other post was asking about a catamaran.
All of these girls where not interested in going out on our previous Catalina 380, But they all want to go out in the "Cat All The Time".
They really like the flat ride. Big Cockpit helps also.

Major advantage of a cat.

deckofficer,

I am in total agreement with you. I have a long way to go to get your skillset and capabilities. I thought the OP was just havin fun, so wanted to play along.

Well you dont need a license to have fun. And in that department I am certainly in the running for the gold medal.

As for experience, I am getting it at a rate of about a year per year.

Speak of the devil, the OP right above me. We have chatted on other threads and I can assure you he was having fun, he is a fun type of guy.

Besides, I'm married (happily) and I should not say such things.

Why is someone smoking on a drilling platform? Anyone caught doing that in any patch job I know would last about as long as it took to be thrown off the rig.

You worked for Noble? My husband was a service hand for Neyrfor (turbodrilling) He still goes out sometimes but is now more often answering the questions of the other turbodrillers (tech support)


to OP Rebel Heart: I do believe that's a cat you're on, I think it's a Leopard??

avb3: there are designated smoking areas on rigs...

That is rather simple, I smoke, so when I'm on board, the bridge wings become an approved smoking area, as the change/break room always has been approved.

You look happy in your chosen profession.

One of the girls is a good friend of mine's wife; it was her birthday party. He charted the boat, needed a captain, and we took all the ladies out for a little girl-fest on the water. Beautiful day, wine, cheese, sandwiches: really a great time. Had the Beach Boys booming through the stereo.

[deckofficer]

Beach Boys were way before those girl's time.

Yep, with Noble one week short of 5 years. GoM, North Sea, and off the coast of Brazil.
