I did wonder that with a name like Subseastu that you may have been a Subsea Engineer (BOPs and all that).
If you don't mind me asking, why are they using a drillship and not a semi sub? Is it because you are in a remote setting and a long way from your supply base?
Quite a nice feeling, leaving a rig (drillship) on 23rd December but not so good for the man (your back to back) who has to work both xmas and new year.............
