A view from the Rig Floor

A view from the rig floor is what:
To the right you'll find a bunk/metal container.
jsut behind it is one of the three jacks thats holding all of this around 35m off the 'MSL' .
Two cranes on both sides to move stuff around.
Ahead the cantilever deck which makes a place to keep pipes and baskets.
To the center a catwalk for laying down pipes from the derrick floor.
Two escape boats to both sides that can save 50 lives each.
A little beyond seen as houses are small compartment or living quaters 4 floors of it .
To the right is the heli deck (where its a thrill to walk 15 meters on an inch thick mesh of steel grill towards the heli pad, looking straight down into the great blue).
