David and Goliath

or the tug 'Queensferry' versus the jack-up drilling rig 'Prospector 5'.

Yes folks, it is happening again.  Another drilling platform is about to set off on its world travels.  This one will be heading for West Africa.

Just before breakfast, I spotted it from my kitchen window arriving, but it was rather indistinct through the misty rain (first 'extra').

Weather was somewhat better this afternoon and I made a short trip towards Burntisland where I captured clearer images of it along with its entourage of 7 support vessels (second 'extra').
