Yeah that's with 4 hrs. O.T. at time and a half everyday. Full offshore rate while working on the yard is a good deal...or at least its a good deal for OI GOM. Once upon a time they only offered 8 hrs. a day at half offshore rate when you had to work in the shop, if they would even let you work in the shop! With a food allowance of about $15 U.S.D. per day! That wasnt even enough to pay for a full grown man sized meal, much less three extra value meals at Mcdonalds! For the most part guys had to just sit on the beach and wait for a call that might not never come for some of them!
