Lovely weather, does the Edda Fides stay out there in those conditions?

It would certainly have disconnected the retractable man-way bridge that gives pedestrian access to the Marlin B platform. It normally sits off the NE corner, dynamically positioned.
Just went and looked across to MLA/MLB, no Edda Fides alongside. Can't see it anywhere, so it must have run in for cover.

It pulled along side MLA/MLB Platform again about 2 hours ago. We can just see it through the haze from WTN.

All work shut down with anything over 40 knots. This work over rig (Concentric Workover Unit) is only small, the work string is only 1 1/4" and is run in in single joints (9m lengths) out of pipe baskets on the deck so no one up in the derrick. All done with winches from a mast unit with guys in a work basket 6m off main deck running the pipe into the hole through a BOP stack on the well. Running in to bottom to wash/circulate sand out of the well bore to surface.
