That's not something you see every day, thanks Kat.
Were you up on one of the cranes to get those high shots?

Tony

[Maxhead]

Very cool. Just imagine a spot of fishing during smoko.....lol

[katwoman]

The fishing usually is not bad. Squid are comin on now, but weather has been shocking last coupla days !!
And these particular photos were not taken by me, some one was up the radar tower fixing it !

[AB]

What a life, fishing everyday....lololo
What do you do on there anyway if you don't mind me asking?

[katwoman]

Similar as what I do at home, but paid . nothing exciting. I cook, I clean,( I wipe their noses and belt their arse when they sh!t me..( not really))

[Clunk]

great pics Kat, kinda reminds me of when I was on the rigs but bluer lol

Love it!!

Must a male dominated rig I suppose....No doubt you'd stick it up them them....On ya Kat

[NissanGQ4.2]

yeah, well you just ruined your chances right there ! More fishing, less working and I'll see what I can do !! pml

ok how about i will do NO work and i will try and catch fish all day.... can i have a job now????

[katwoman]

Love it!!

Sadly, yes. ATM we are quiet at 15-20 ppl, but when full house about 60+ males, I usually try to go home sick.. Too much testosterone for me.


ok how about i will do NO work and i will try and catch fish all day.... can i have a job now????

Done, you will have start on base wage of $100k though.

[da' maverick]

nice pics, i once worked on a trawler out of lakes. these rigs look awesome at night. that's flounder? is it

[katwoman]

Not sure I can answer that, due to security reasons ! If the Patrol owning terrorists read this I dont want them blowing me up first !

[katwoman]

Great pics, thanks Kat.

So do you get much time for fishing? And do the fellas ask you to cook up their catch or is it catch and release only?

Hope you've got a fishing licence too, never know where those sneaky fisheries officers will show up!! Actually you're probably not in Vic waters there so go crazy!

All these guys are pretty tight. Especially during cray season, clean em freeze em, take em home. If you can land a full fish without the seals stealing it.
Considering I love fishing I've only been here once. Too much like hard work !! Is a long way from water to deck, need arms like popeye to land them. Not sure about fishing licences, I supose you would need them. Bugga fisheries !! NO motor boats within so many kms of platform.. U get in BIG trouble.

Sorry thats way 2 much money, wouldn't know what 2 do with myself.......mmmmmm, how much bourbon could 1 buy with 100k??? *LMAO*

[katwoman]

Ok, well to help you out, you can pay me a finders fee of 60% for the first 12 months.

[Finly Owner]

Sorry thats way 2 much money, wouldn't know what 2 do with myself.......mmmmmm, how much bourbon could 1 buy with 100k??? *LMAO*
I'll take the job then. New limbs can be made so danger money is a good off balance. Although feeling vertigo just looking at some shots.

[katwoman]

Some weather conditions, and you can not have too many sunset/sunrise photo's..

Simply stunning. Genuine question, are there times where everyone just sh!ts themselves and says "oh, that can't be good" when a weather system is rolling in??

Yup, like now when it's blowin' 40 knots with gusts of 55. Rain is horizontal !

[Finly Owner]

15 actually, but water's too damn cold for visitin' tonite !

[Bigrig]

Wow! Spectacular photos!

[katwoman]

Sunsets, sunrises. Something I dont really get sick of. Means I'm still alive !

[Clunk]

I do miss that life, solid work (not in Kat's Case hahahahaha) for 2 weeks, then 2 weeks off, to do what ever, was fantastic......................... and the bizarre thing was even though you were 1 1/2 hrs from land by chopper, it didn't feel isolated (well most of the time), was either working or sleeping, so didn't get too much time to think

[YNOT]

Nice photos Kat, thanks.

Tony

[Bob]

Stunning Pics Kat. Keep them coming

[Silver]

Very cool. Just imagine a spot of fishing during smoko.....lol

Be able to crank in some big ones with that Favco 2700 crane!

[Maxhead]

Yep, a couple nice tuna to keep the boys happy

[katwoman]

Yep, a couple nice tuna to keep the boys happy

It's shame they dont grow that big anymore.

[katwoman]

Not that I know of. The seals are actually really nasty and bite through airhoses of divers and I think even in the middle of summer the water temp gets to about 15c. They say you can last about 10 min before hypothermia sets in. I'd have to check but the distance between platforms is a far way ! The only ppl who do it are the SAS. But I cant tell you that !

[katwoman]

A few more shots.. The boat is droppoing rocks on sea bed around platform to stabilse the sea bed..

[katwoman]

The camera never justifies the weather we get !!

[YNOT]

Morning Kat, How much does the rig get moved around in weather like that?

Tony

[katwoman]

Hi Tony,
it rocks a bit. Not too bad.
can rock you to sleep sometimes..

[growler2058]

The camera never justifies the weather we get !!

Wow never a dull moment hay!

[blair]

wow looks awesome !

[fakawi]

Love the lightning, as kids (5 - 6) we used to stand out in the fields, watching the storm front coming in and see who would stay out there the longest. The thunder was worse than the lightning at that age becasue it would shake the ground. Does it shake the Rig ?

[macca]

23 years ago I worked on Horn Island in the Torres Strait, 140 men / animals and 1 woman.
She was treated like a princess, hope the lads on board do the same for you.
Seems like a life ago .....
