Christmas at sea!
....turns out that I'll be at sea over Christmas. After my rather mixed trip to Aberdeen on Weds, one of the people I'd contacted (to no useful effect, as I thought it) rang to ask me to mobilise on Sunday... rig move in UKCS, about 15 days, which is about par for a jack-up move in those waters. Couldn't really say no, as I've had little worthwhile work for some time now and next year looks bleak on the construction front.
I've concluded I need to make some sort of move to make rig moves happen for me in 2020. Given the way the oil industry thinks, there's nothing like doing the job, so a rig move (preferably a large, modern one for a major, with at least one more scheduled move in 1Q 2020) sounds like a good start. It did result in some controversy, but that's life in the oil patch for you.
So it's Xmas and quite likely, New Year in one of the most dispiriting places in God's green world. I don't quite know what it is about the North Sea, but as a place for looking out the window and thinking "what am I doing HERE?" there's nowhere quite like it.
press on!
