Dom, there's usually a 10kg baggage limit on the choppers out to the Browse Basin jobs Ive been doing of late. By the time you pack your boots and basic work clothes theres not much allowance for anything else.Dominic wrote: Do you take a guitar to the rig with you to play?
Must be nice to be back.
Cheers
