Beauty and the Beast

Last few days we are busy making milkruns for the 'Hermod' to Lerwick vice versa. I really don't know why they call this milkruns. The only thing we're carrying is fuel. Lots of fuel. We just completed the second run and delivered already 2.4 million liters of diesel oil. Even back in the Second World War they called the U-Boat tankers, delivering fuel to the Wolfpacks on the Atlantic, Milkcows. And these submarines were also carrying fuel only. Strange.
And every time we pass this platform, it is the Heather platform close to NE Hutton. Ugly as a British platform can be. You recognize all the parts now? The flareboom and the drilling tower are very easy to distinguish.
