Valaris 107 is already leaving the bay, I wish I hadn’t come into the office for this afternoon. I find them so fascinating (on a purely what the fuck can humans build?! kinda way) and always want to get as close as I can, but it’s a bit difficult. I figured watching it go through the heads would be the best way.

Did some quick reading about it due to your comment, very cool. 9696 tonnes. Seems to be doing "plugging and abandoning" work as a result of decreasing offshore mining for gas and oil in Aus waters
