Ocean PatriotHi All, Here is a couple of pics of an oil rig that has finally come into Portland Victoria for some work on the rig etc...
This to happen they had to unload about 200 ton of chain and the drilling pipe as well as upset the locals from shutting the break water down to the public stopping them from fishing. This is a big rig and have been watching it closely as it moved towards the port as i travel to Portland 3 times a nite in the truck and i would have loved to stay till all the lights was on but it was a very windy day there today and as it is over a 100klm away from home i wanted to get home and beat the Kangaroo's before they came out. Rig Info Rig Name: Ocean Patriot Rig Manager: Diamond Offshore Rig Owner: Diamond Offshore Competitive Rig: Yes Rig Type: Semisub Semisub Generation: 3 Rig Design: Trosvik Bingo 3000 Rated Water Depth: 1,500 ft Drilling Depth: 30,000 ft Cheers BBJ

Re: Ocean Patriot
now tony, i'm not one to give someone shit but .... "scared of kangaroos" !!! didn't wait for the right shot !!! and it wont take that rig long to slide to the left !!! .... for a big bad truckie john .. you is a sook cheers rob
Re: Ocean PatriotThanks, yes i should have stayed longer it is going to be there for a month or so, so maybe next time and Rob the roos dont bother me when i am in the truck cos i just run over them and they bounce of the bull bar, but when in my own car i dont like them as i see how many roos there are of a night time along that road. Sometimes i see bunches of upto like 50 roos just sitting on the edge of the road and dodging Koalas and bloody emus just run out in front of you so will try get some night shots when i get a chance to go down in my 4wd as i want to do some fishing there so will stay at freinds place for a night.
