Never been to the North Sea, but I've spent a bit of time in the North
Atlantic. *Tell him to take care......as I'm sure he knows (as well as
you and I) it ain't as friendly as it is beautiful.

He flies in to .... somewhere on the coast and choppers out to the
rigs. He is an environmental consultant -- showing them what to fix
before some agency fines them zillions of dollars. On the way back he
buys (or gets from grateful clients) oodles of duty free booze. He
is mostly a vodka and tequila guy, so dad gets the good stuff.

And, yes, he adheres to dad's advice: "when in doubt, chicken out" and
stays on the ground when N Sea gets bitchy.
