Saw a lot of families yesterday just hanging out in the rest areas and.parking lots. At least they won't drown.


I don’t miss getting a rig ready for hurricanes.

Sounds fun, we’ll go party in the motel for a couple days.

Fug that.

Pull outta the hole. Run in with storm packer. Lay down pipe outta the Derrick. Nipple stack down. Put on storm cap. Skid in.
Chain down everything you can. Weld down the rest.


Around 2009 or 10.

We were moving the rig. Hurricane formed.

This was in late November or early December.

Strange for a hurricane. No one expected it to do anything

We were in processes of towing to a new field / block for a other operator.

Finally decided once we got in their field to jackup.
Never got a 100% preload. About 30’ air gap. Had to go.

Went to Lafayette.

We they flew back out to start up rig...

Like to lost it.

Leg settled.

Twisted port leg. Never was right. Couldn’t keep slide shoes in guides. Rip em out.
