Being on the rig for the first time is truly an amazing experience. Even more so if you're a lady. The very first time I stepped onto the rig, the rig crew greeted me by saying "Good Afternoon, M'am!". When I gave my plates to the galley crew after tea time, they replied, "Thank you M'am!" Oh! Wow! I was impressed! My ! My! You don't meet such polite people on land, do you? very, very rarely, that is!
Since I am on a
semi-submersible rig, stabilized by only 4 anchors, the rig is constantly swaying slightly from left to right, and right to left. Everytime when I am all alone in the sleeping quarters, I could feel the slight swaying. It took me about 4 days to get over it. After that period, I didn't feel any swaying anymore. Only occassionally, when I left the wardrobe door opened, its rattles will remind me that I am on a floating rig.
The anchors are tied to a big, heavy 5 tonnes buoy. It is to locate the anchor when rig is demobilized.
