brand new PIX and VIDEO of DPDW's equipment..! ~~~~~~>

hey everyone, here is more real world dd from our "offshore correspondent", psychobilly..! i'll use the captions he sent to me along with the pix:



Here are a few pics brikk. The one of the TV screens is a shot in the ROV <remote operated vehicle



The pic of the Red A-Frame is a shot of the ROV winch that lowers it Subsea. It consist of wire rope on the outside and electricals and fiber optics on the inside. Here it is shown in the "Moon Pool" of the vessel. <large hole typically in the middle of these vessels as well as your Semi-Submersible Rigs.



Oh and it's like being on a cruise at work! ROTFLMAO!!! NOT!

____________

okay, now here's where psychobilly has really outdone himself: we now have video with a narration from the field... enjoy..!

"We don't have the luxury of 14 and 14...."

How about 21 and 21 in colorado.....and be able to leave the rig at nite for a beer or 2 at a peeler bar.

Don't miss it...the stench of jet fuel, the stench of a crew boat, barfing over 3 ft seas...safety meetings every hour, safety drills, having to explain everytime why your shutting down a $8000/hour rig ......don't miss it
