After posting a photo of one of the OIL boats I was on, another member reckoned a thread about those who sailed with OIL might be an idea. So I volunteered to kick off!
I was on the 'OIL Hustler' from August '78 to October '79.
'OIL Venturer' from Dec '79 to July '80.
'OIL Endeavour' from Sept '79 to Dec '81.
In between I did one trip on the 'OIL Explorer' Nov' 80 to Dec '80 (We had laid the 'Endeavour up in Leith)
Masters I sailed with were Iain Fyfe and Baz Unite (Hustler), Martin Russell and Woodward? (Venturer), George Bowie on 'Endeavour' and A. Storey on the 'Explorer'.
Most of the work was Northsea but we did Mexico, Denmark and Sicily as well!
Look forward to hearing from all other ex.OIL crews.
