点评:What a fantastic place this is, run by Virgil, a real enthusiast, so knowledgeable on everything to do with the oil industry in the Gulf.
As nobody else turned up, we had a 2 hour private tour of what was the very first movable rig in the Gulf and apparently the only place in the whole wide world where we could walk on an offshore rig.
It’s not spruced up at all and you gain a real insight into what it’s like to work on a rig, even down to the cooking!
Saw an alligator sunning itself on the bank as we climbed the ladder up to the rig.
Virgil took us round he whole rig, going into such detail that was beyond our ken but we loved it all.
If you’ve had enough of Plantations and Antebellum Houses in the Greek Revival Style, this is the tour for you.
翻译:这是一个多么棒的地方啊,由 Virgil 经营,他是一个真正的爱好者,对墨西哥湾石油工业的所有知识都非常了解。
因为没有其他人来,我们进行了 2 小时的私人游览,参观了墨西哥湾第一座可移动钻井平台,显然也是全世界唯一一个我们可以在海上钻井平台上行走的地方。
它根本没有装饰,你可以真正了解在钻井平台上工作是什么样的,甚至包括烹饪!
当我们爬上梯子登上钻井平台时,看到一只鳄鱼在岸边晒太阳。
Virgil 带我们参观了整个钻井平台,讲解的细节超出了我们的理解范围,但我们都很喜欢。
如果你已经看够了希腊复兴风格的种植园和内战前房屋,那么这次旅行就是为你准备的。
