Weather was bad today. Had winds above 50 mph for the entire day and they still have not died down. Here are some pics, the deck at water line is the 10 foot deck, these waves where 10-12 feet.

Nice fish and awesome pics! Those seas look rough!
Is there a specific wind speed that needs to be reached before they evac the rig or is it only when a storm enters the Gulf that it gets cleared out?
If you think that come SHTF you are gonna jock up in all your kit and be a death-dealing one man army, you're an idiot - izzyscout
Only when a tropical storm is coming. Right now it is impossible for us to evac. The boat had to go in because of rough seas, and the helicopter is grounded until the winds die down. So basically we are all sitting here with nothing to do until this weather passes.Originally Posted by The Stig
I probably steamed past your position a few dozen times in my younger days down the "safety fairways" or "oil rig alleys" as we used to call them. PLace is littered with them (oil rigs) I would be doing some serious "selective fishing" if I was you. Does the company allow you to dive off the rigs? Ta hell with the rod and reel!
Be safe.............the night is your friend.
No, we can't get in the water unfortunately. My platform is just west of the ship channel

You don't need to be the strongest
or the most intelligent to survive
but by having the right tools and
the adaptability of change
is where you will prevail.

The boat next to the platform is 180 feet long . The structure on the right is the living quarters side and the left is the production side.
