I am on Shell's Ursa TLP. MC-809. But I go in on Tuesday. I am finally working days.
Weather is great mild winds, no rollers, pretty dang clear water.
Big sportsfishers have been catching tuna for the past 10 days or so. Lots of boats for some reason. I usually listen to VHF Ch. 68, 69 and 72. Those channels are usually pretty busy when there are big tournaments out of La., Ms., Ala. and Fla.

Guys, this is some of the best information ever posted on this site! Thanks for sharing your locations with us and it is much appreciated. I work for a consulting company in Lafayette, but I only get to go out once in a blue moon. We have guys on the BP facilities - Marlin, Pompano, Thunderhorse, Mad Dog - etc.

Problem is, my guys don't know how to get good information, most of them are from up north in red dirt country!
