WC45 Riga

[butchr]

Does anyone know if they are dismantling or just repairing the WC45 rig? It was the first time I've been out there in a couple of years and noticed a big jack-up rig set up within 50 feet of it with some workers coming and going to the older wc45 via crane doing some welding on it. After getting setup and getting into a groove catching fish, a guy from the jack-up rig tells we have to leave because there's a crew boat and barge on the way and need to get set up there to work. I asked if I could move to another corner of the rig or come back after they off-loaded, or when they got finished doing whatever they were going to do, and he said they were going to be working on the whole rig and I had to leave. It was too noisy to have much more of a conversation, and the fellow didn't see to be in the mood anyway. With the boats and size of the barge that was approaching, and that they set up
a new rig practically on top of the old one..makes me wonder if they are dismantling the old one. Anyone know the story?
