Howdy folks.
So, it looks like I'm away to accept a job offer, which is nice. Part of which will probably have me going offshore for short stints - not very often I'm told, but it'll probably happen.
I've managed to not let my slightly irrational fear of being offshore stop me from being willing to accept the job, and I was just looking for some first-hand accounts of what life is like offshore and if I'm right to be a bit apprehensive about it? Or is it pretty much safe these days? I'm aware of incidents that happen such as the last helicopter to ditch that killed some folks, but for some reason the chopper doesn't worry me as much as being on a platform!
Any hints/tips/info most welcome!
