Cool pics. I had a friend who flew to South African, and then sailed backed to the Gulf of Mexico from Durban on one of transocean's new drill ship. He made bank for being ona rig for almost 35 days straight, only shame is that he ran out of stuff to do since he was both third party contractor and finished setting up his gear..

I was took a crew boat from a rig once .. I was sick for the 10 hr or so boat ride from the rig. I got lucky though as the seas were too rough, or else we would have stopped at other rigs to pick up materials that were head into port.

I've been on about 8 or so drilling rigs, from jack ups to drill ships, and the larger the rig, the bigger the galley and therefore the better and more food options that you have. Best meals I've had had been Christmas, thanksgiving and Easter.

Oh man... crew boats were the worst. Too small to be non-barf inducing on anything but a glassy smooth surface.

Your galley observation is spot on. The CNG rig ^up there was huge. And spotless. I started on it while it was strictly production. Over the course of three weeks I watched them bring that drilling side out on a crane boat, lift it in to position, and weld it in place. Blew my mind.

LOL, NZ is a lot greener than Oz, but dont forget to have a good look around Oz, its got some great sites and places....What coast are you on?

I am based in Moomba, not on the coast. right now we are a few hundred miles off of Darwin. I usually fly through Sydney or Melbourne.
