Wow, great photo, I imagine it's not quite so great if you are working there!

Does the rig move in weather like that? You bet it does, not a good place to be if you suffer from sea sickness Im glad those days are behind me although a few years ago I would never have thought I would say that.

I wonder how much it moves? Are they secured to the sea bed, or just 'floating' on pontoons? I know next to nothing about these rigs, although there is a stand-up rig currently moored in Carrick Roads off Falmouth Docks - I know because I have been today to Falmouth to buy a new pair of DM shoes and ate my pasty looking over the dock area and could see it in the background!

It's a semi sub so it can be towed from field to field. Once in position it is ballasted with water and then fixed to the seabed with chains and anchors, still rocks like a baby in rough weather though.

Not good on big draft on the water I'm afraid, I'll stick to my kayak, at least I am in control. Those rigs must move even more sickenly because they aren't moving through the water but taking the full force of the swell instead - must be really unpleasant in the sort of sea conditions we've been experiencing recently.

To be honest, I love it. We are disconnected just now (means we are no longer attached to any wells, so just floating about really), so it means we have nothing to do but sit here, and buy shiny things...
ALMOST fell asleep earlier with the rocking, but then BANG!!! Big heaving wave side strikes us as the whole place rattles for 20 seconds. Awesome. Better go for a smoke then.
