I hope you have a good trip. Robert. I leave Inverness at 3am ish. Gets me there before 5am. Earlier I am there the easier it is to get a space in the car park. I have a DVD of the run for you. If you fancied catching up before check in.

Where do you park? I could drop past and pick it up at about 5:30 if that would be OK.

Anybody been offshore Baku before ?
Im heading out to the East Azeri platform there this weekend?

Not that I would be drinking in excess, the night prior to a check in CT is the man to comment - I will alert him. Cheers, Eric

Mike
Word of warning, if the doctor is at the heliport everyone gets breathalised and it is zero tolerance.
I have not been on East Azeri, only the Dada Gorgud Semi.

Forgot to put something about onshore entertainment.
If you are after 'company' Coral or M Brothers seem to be favourite, but watch your wallet !!!!! the pubs I use are Golden Bridges and Shakespeare at Malikan Square, Adams Bar and the wonderfully names Camel's Toe both close to Fountain Square, and if there is sport on the Caledonia is a good place to be, good atmosphere for football, rugby and motorsport.
Best eatery IMO is the Azza Cafe at the end of Fountain Square, but I haven't tried everyplace yet and there are loads of decent places to eat.

Fog arrived last Tuesday down here (Southern N/Sea)and has not lifted since !Four crewchanges have been delayed and we are now using supply boats and basket transfers. Boat can only take 12 at a time unfortunately, so we aren't clearing the backlog.
Forecast is bad till at least Thursday. Several times it has thinned enough to mobilise aircraft only for it to close in again by the time they get out here.
My crewchange is officially tomorrow but anything before the weekend will be a bonus.
