my old feller used to drive BP tankers

then the north sea oil gas industry started to pay big money so he sacked off the tankers for supply boats. bonus ball being he was away for a week tops as opposed to 6 month trips. this was the ship we used to cabby out to the rigs on User Posted Link he once let me drive it on my tod for an hour "just keep the mast pointing toward the rig and give me a shout if you see any other vessels" must have been 14 i guess, probably some wacky health and safety law against that now.
