I have had it happen. Road a category two out on the Rowan Texas in, I think 2002 or 2003.

It was a long night, for certain.

12 for me too, but I don’t go offshore anymore. I did 7 years “offshore”, but still get to travel and go overseas. Office and work from home these days.

“Rig” is about as vague as it gets. Has it been verified what kind of facility this crew got stuck on? Shelf? Deepwater?

Everything's a rig, baw. Even a little pipeline up and over platform.

Better than being stuck in low earth orbit with no easy path back

This would be a great setup for a horror movie. One of the baws is a fricking psychopath and they just fired him this morning, waiting for the next transport to take him off platform, but the boat didn't get there because of the hurricane and now their power is out.
