Unexpectedly in the summer, Martin, a friendly master ~ custodian of a classic Leo Robinson Broadland cabin yacht visiting Hoveton from the southern rivers; tied up by the lifeboat at the short stay moorings up river of the bridge.
By astonishing coincidence, Martin worked on board the isolated oil rig platform NORTHERN PRODUCER, where the lifeboat was stationed while in service off the north coast of Scotland.
Martin was a "rope access technician... abseiling down and doing structural inspections... and probably sat in her doing lifeboat drills".
Northern Producer was a partly submersible drilling rig, or floating production facility (FPF) built in 1976 to work, located in the North Sea around 90 miles north east of the Shetland Islands.
