Help Larry find the worm

Larry the bird has been tasked to over look an oil rig of the coast of Santa Barbara and raise an alarm if there is any problems. Unfortunately the worm they used to drill for oil went mad and could not be stopped. Must have been all that oil.

Larry was taken to hospital and when he woke up he could not remember on which oil rig he was at the time. 

You are required to find the worm and activate the alarm when you have found him so that he can be captured. In order to do so you have to find one of Larry's many, many friends. They normally communicate with each other digitally. Once you have found him, he will give you the location of the oil rig in order to start your search. His friend could be named "waarsdit"

As birds can't talk (they tweet), Larry tapped some code on the hospital bed to help you understand what is required to find the worm using the information given by his friend. I wonder if Larry ever went to prison?

 

Here is the code as you heard it: 

1 tap, short pause, 1 tap, longer pause 

3 taps, short pause, 3 taps, longer pause 

4 taps, short pause, 4 taps, longer pause 

2 taps, short pause, 4 taps, longer pause 

3 taps, short pause, 5 taps, longer pause 

3 taps, short pause, 4 taps, longer pause 

1 tap, short pause, 4 taps, longer pause 

1 tap, short pause, 5 taps

 

Congrats to BigG - First to solve and ChrisDen - First to Find.
