If you look in the first few pics of that link the two other floating hulls in those pics are two Chevron Rigs...One is named bigfoot the other is Jack and St. Malo.

Went overnight Saturday night to Na Kika area and it was a late change of plans away from Mars/Ursa based on RipCharts and local intel. It turned out to be the best decision of all time as Mars/Ursa area got lit up by a 7 hour lightning storm that would have been a beast to deal with. Did anyone else see this or hear about it? It was the most impressive lightning storm I've ever seen.



This sounds pretty familiar, I might have been your "local intel". Were you guys in a 22-25ft Glacier Bay? We overnighted Friday around Na Kika and also had a pretty spectacular light show from the Mars area.

It was damn impressive. I wasn't in it...skirted around it.
There was a 31' Cape Horn that got caught up in it though
