[CINC] Visit an Offshore Oil Rig

[Catherine French]

The entire group was invited,I went on the first we went via shore boat and got lifted onto the platform by a Billy Huey -- a big net you hang on to and a platform for your feet. We got a tour of the entire operation and ate lunch in the restaurant. It was fabulous!

Calm seas,

Finally, after circling about five times,, the helicopter successfully set-down in blustering winds atop the nearby platform, some unknown mission,  llifting off about a minute later.   (See "Stacey's" kid page on our new DOI bureau BOEMRE with close up photos.  I've heard volunteers took their own tour some years back.)
