Our rig although still not locatable is now 'laid up'. Glomar Allure and Ben Nevis are all together now servicing the 72 rig. Highland Princess has only 'Wren' as a destination stamp (the well Petrofac currently is shutting). Looks like progress.
My Watchlist has been mostly in the red this morn (only Orphir was up out of 30+ companies). No surprise to see BOIL dropping with the tide.
Slim-line lower fat spread abd two potential codes lol. Maybe some fwrends/ family will be buying this morn. Castles in the sky who knows. No anorak today.
There's an Ensco 121 jack up sitting at Dundee currently. I get no auspicious signs from my waggled pointer this morning but who knows it would be nice if it moved our way ! Over at Norfolk the 'Princess is docked at Gt. Yarmouth and the other two are still in the same position.

Wearing my smartest anorak I decided to go hunting for our elusive rig earlier. Firstly, it is interesting that the three vessels are in the area all together east of Gt.Yarmouth. Fishsafe locates the rig right by the three formentioned vessels, this could be old data and or the rig has a cloaking device lol. Anyway Glomar is heading back to Yarmouth (probably for women, wine and song this evening).
Now in anorak mode. I was just waving my pointer over the North sea east of..wick and found the Glomar Allure which is a standby safety vessel- its current destination is our rig. I didn't have time to waggle the pointer over every dot (i even though a food crumb on the screen was a dot)- I reckon the rig is somewhere near that vessel. Hope the weather stays good for those hardy staff.
Looks like a chunky buyer is watching the map too.
p.s. The destination to Ensco72 is mentioned if you click on the vessel on the map, however , via the search facility the destination isn't mentioned on the piccy.
MD: According to MarineTraffic, it is due on the 5th in the small hours. Interestingly I still can't find the rig just by typing it into the search on the formentioned site. (Is it a price-sensitive info thing- for BOIL and co -not Petrofac ?).
Was the 81 yesterday a new code ? Maybe 'Well paint the price blue tomorrow morning to attract the punters' otherwise, please send a self-adressed envelope to John Cravens Newsround.
Some chunky-ish buys appearing now. Shouldn't be long till the next tick up. Hope Petrofac have been looking after the rig and not overtightening the nuts.;)
