Life onboard a platform in the Gulf of Mexico

I spent a week in December 2008 working on BP's oil production platform "Holstein," approximately 150 mi. south of New Orleans, LA.

 The man is the baker who baked all of the items on the table. We eat VERY WELL on the platform.

Great photos. Things have changed quite a lot since I lived on a rig at Ship Shoal 182 in 1980. The galley looks great, as are the bunks. We had six in a room so small that everyone could not get out of bed at the same time. Keep these interesting photos coming.
