Still Offshore

Hello Hello, Still bouncing around offshore in the North sea. Have had some pretty bad weather lately so the whole crew has been struggling to sleep a little. We transitted into port yesterday as the weather was not that good and one of the girls on the Marine crew's father was sick so we went to port to let her off the boat. The transit to port took about 18 hrs as we had VERY bad weather, at the start we had 55 knots of wind and it was gusting to 65 Kts, thats pretty windy and the boat was only going about 3 knots. Needless to say we had some good waves aswell so no one got any sleep during that time. We stayed in a fjord last night so that atleast one shift (day shift) could get some sleep, luckily that was my shift so I am now fully recharged.

We have just left for transit again out to field and the Nav screen in front of me reads 11hrs to go and we are currently moving along at 8.5 Kts. I dont think the night shift will be getting much sleep again as it is still pretty rough outside and this boat moves around ALOT.

Have just completed the standard morning routine of a coffee with a couple of freshly made croissants’ (who really knows how to spell that word anyway) and a quick read of the morning paper. It looks like when we get back to field that we will have the chance to get some work done for quite a long period, unless the weather forcast changes. Unfortunately it is getting late in the year and we are loosing alot of time to weather.

Anyway thats it for now, still have a couple of weeks left out here I would say until the project is complete.

Until then Ha det bra.
