It’s so Good to be Home!

March 9, 2011, From the Deck of the Ensco 8501 (Ensco 8502 in Background)I’m finally home after way too many days away from my soulmate.

Here’s a picture I took yesterday from the deck of Ensco’s 8501 drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico.

In the background you can just make out the Ensco 8502.

We followed out the weather and arrived at the 8501 just after the line passed overhead. The photo is the sun peaking through the backside of the frontal boundary.

Dean M. Cole, a reclusive caffeine junkie and author from Texas, formerly a combat helicopter pilot and now an airline pilot, writes science fiction novels. As an aviation enthusiast, he lives out his dreams of space adventures in his books, since "physics" and "budgets" stand in the way in real life. His stories are full of techno-jargon and action. Between flights, he translates these into German, drawn to the challenge of weaving long words into convoluted sentences. Despite his success, he fears his characters may one day become self-aware and choose safer career paths.
