Arrived to site early and so I walked the long way there. Was surprised to see early morning council worker cleaning the front.

Ropes set, and decent underway. Always told "don't look down" but you have to in this game.

In the UK oil and gas industry, it is a requirement for a standby vessel to be present. These vessels primarily cover helicopter operations and if any work has to be conducted where there is a potential to fail to sea. (known as outboard work). These vessels sit there, day in day out, no matter the weather they provide us with emergency cover and would spring to life and help rescue if the unlikely event ever arose.
