Yes I'm afraid I'm away until the 27th finger crossed.

Anyway here a few shots taken today of the weather offshore gusting over 70 knots!
Sorry about the quality someone is away with the decent camera but I think you get the idea!







Cheers,

Rob.

Nice one Rob.
Did you notice that you are missing a lifeboat? Which platform is that, it looks almost as rusty as mine?

Whoosh,

Well spotted mate, that was lifeboat No.7 which we didn't need anymore.
The platform is the Brent Alpha.

Regards,

Rob.

Facking shi!ting meself in bed today. Thought the place was going to keel over with the waves. Reckon anything not tied down will be in Norway for the morning!
Everyone kept indoors for now!
BTW the Brent Bravo is pretty much as rusty as the Alpha

Edited to say the the pictures don't look as bad as it is in reality (the waves and the Alpha )

Happy Christmas bring out the Shloer...
