Are you regularly on one vessel Wes? I got a shot at some surface supply in Ft William a few months ago. Not really too keen on the thought of sat though! Congrats on you guys getting your pay rise.

I know a few of the inspection bods on the polaris and am good mates with one of the project engineers out with you. He was last onboard when the polaris came in to port for the impending strike.
The regalia did a lot of work out WoS here but that was quite a bit before I joined the company.
There's no denying it..... tax sucks!

I'm thinking about going offshore myself but have no idea what job would suit me best. I'm a machinist for vetco at the moment so only have experience pushing buttons at the moment.
