Stranded on the platform

[LSUh20fowler]

Had to use my field work boat to assist three asshats this morning. Field boat was running the field and noticed an unoccupied fishing boat floating. As he came upon one of our platforms, seen three guys waving and flagging the boat. Work boat brought one man to the drifting boat so he could go back and get his buddies. Just stay off the damn platforms. We have enough trouble with these zipperhead boats tearing up our satellite platforms. This happened in the W.C. 66 field. Names were reported to offshore oil company.

Next time call Wildlife and fisheries for em, they'll help them guys out and write a nice ticket for tresspassing
If there is an emergency thats one thing. I used to work a field that was close to the beach and these fisherman would climb up and turn off the fog horn. That is probly what they were trying to do.

And steal our tools from our toolbox.. I know our satelites have some nice proto tools, there is all kinda stuff on some of those platforms. diesel, tools, parts, veiana saushage, crackers, ect..

Yeah, I think I'd have to go with Rob on this one. I think I'd have to act like I didn't see em and just call Wildlife and Fisheries. Give a good soak time while they wait on their fine and potential jailing.

Aren't your platforms considered Marsec zones...Protected by mari-time laws? If so, that gets the FBI and Coast Guard involved.

[LittleRob]

After state waters we are under Marsec. These guys don't understand the liability that goes along with boarding our platforms Fowler ya'll have been dealing with that kind of stuff since I was there. Mess around and scare a coonass to bad you get hit in the head with a pipewrench.

We got their names. I'll leave it up to the company whether they want to push it further or not. But I know one day, some dumbass will cut their leg or something and try to sue the **** out of us. And thats gonna cause me to have all kinds of paperwork. To bad they won't let me carry a rifle out here. I bet word would get around real fast of that "crazy lil man" out in the W.C. field.

We saw the Cameron Sheriff Dept. towing in a Champion bay boat Sat.
They were going about 30 mph and the Champion owner was sitting in his boat.
If I was being towed that fast, I wouldn't want to be in the boat.
Jfranovich said it looked like it was being towed. I said so way they could be towing that fast. But we saw the rope.

i had a guy in a big bass boat tow me in from west fork to the barrier one time, he got up on plane and my aluminum boat turned on it's side a few seconds later, i was freaking out...he looked back and let off the gas just in time...
