I remember doing this when I was 25 years old. I was trying to swing onto the drilling rig with one hand, and holding my duffle bag with the other. Thank goodness, the man on the drilling rig, grabbed my coveralls by my chest and pulled me on the rig; otherwise I would have been smashed by the boat.
Got off of the shelf and on to deep water and never looked back. No more doing this in January in the middle of the night with ice on the swing rope and ice on the deck.
Sketchier than it looks, I’ve been to that platform. Luckily I didn’t have a bad swell like this, but I’ve been to Edith and Ellen/Ellie on some huge days and had to catch a Billy Pugh, I think I’d rather risk the rope swing than the billy ever again lol. Miss my offshore days that’s for sure. Good times.
That really wasn't that bad. Judging but what I could see from the back door and Stern control Windows that's about $120 to 125 ft older Swift ship that's not like it was 155-ft Breaux hull that weighed 150 tons and doesn't move. Them guys had all kinds of chances to swing. I've swung in 15 ft I've been dropped with a personal basket and 25 ft in the middle of a hurricane with 80 mph winds... You going to work this job you better grow a pair.

Miss those days. We evacuated a Amoco rig in 25' seas , they swung out on gym rope. Craziest day out there . Hurricane hit and helicopters didn't make it in time.
I wish I was still young. Maybe I should be glad that I'm old. I enjoyed dangerous jobs, now every little thing seems to make me overly cautious. I see danger where most people don't. Does that make sense?
Been there Seen that . Easily said than done. Have fallen in the water and rescued in time. Need balls of steel doing this. Those were the good old days. 👍😊🙏
No . During the day. Thanks to the Supply vessel Captain who had the presence of mind to pull out , if not I would have been crushed in between the jacket and stern of the vessel. 😊
@@markusjones5215 Well yes. It was a frightening experience. After being pulled out of the water I wasn’t able to stand and was trembling. Took me almost an hour to get back to normal. God Bless that Captain and the crew who pulled me out. It wasn’t the fright of falling but the thought of getting crushed. 😌
Hurricane Marie swell
Imagine having to clock in for that job
Been there ...........Done that. Almost got smoked once. That's a young mans life. Glad I don't do it anymore.
When out on the oceans the rest of the world does not exist.

Off-shore boat captains are the best. I just want to say that for the record.

Hati sayang kerja nya yg pokus ya
What would they do if it really gotten rough.
I miss those oil field days.
I miss that work sometimes. These softies that work office jobs don't have a fucking clue what real men do to keep their world running.
I sometimes miss it, too.

@@ed07-sssj damn man I can only imagine what was going through your head when you fell in but glad you survived 🙏🏽
