Hello all

Really curious about this blogg thing, really not sure if this is really me. But hey, let's give it a try. My main intentions are to, in some way ease some of my thoughts, share ideas, share pictures taken from my office (The Bridge of my vessel), or generally state my opinion about stuff.

I am currently working as 1.st Officer aboard the Deep Cygnus, which is a multipurpose ROV, Trencher Vessel, operating in the North Sea. This is a job I really enjoy. There is no way I can possible describe the feeling of operating such a vessel, controlling its powers, by means of only small adjustments of its levers. The vessel is 122 m long, and my office is situated on the topmost deck, with a panoramic 360 degrees view of the seven seas. 

My favorite time of day is at sunrise, after a long dark night's duty, seeing the sun rising above the horizon is always spectacular. My current watch duty leaves me sleeping at this hours, since it's the chief Officer that does the night-shift, but hey, sunset is not bad either.

This'll be all for now. I am currently packing my bag for another 4 weeks at sea, leaving family and friends behind. But that may be the price I have to pay for having one of the most exiting jobs in the world... 

I am really looking forward to be seeing them again in 4 weeks.
