It has begun




Well, the time we have been waiting for since March has now arrived. Blake has officially gone offshore. After a couple days of ups and downs and various plans he has left for New Orleans today. Once arriving there this evening he will take off at 3:20am for the heliport and leave for the rig via helicopter at 5:30am. Apparently he will be about 200 miles off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. I brought it to his attention this morning that his first helicopter ride to the rig will take place in total darkness. We have no idea what to expect, when we will talk again or even when he is coming home. We know that right now it is 2 weeks at the most and 1 week at the least. Please check back as I wil be posting updates here as I get them.
