Baird, I received the ESV annual report this weekend, and it was good reading. (Nothing that's not in the SEC filings, of course).

They are spending a lot of money upgrading their jack-ups -- maybe a near term negative for those who believe the Simmons report, but they are moving and planning to move jack-ups out of the GOM and into the harsh drilling environments. They are also developing plans on a proprietary design for a semi-sub.

And the record of creating wealth for shareholders is phenomenal. I think management has its act together. If Rainwater is holding, I think I'll hold too. <g>

Baird, ESV is a bargain- I doubled my position last week. I also just doubled my position in RDC- another bargain IMO. RDC's earnings out tomorrow....

Anyone follow Drill-Quip? DRQ or DQP I think- provides deepwater engineering support...

Sincerely,

Doug F.
