Waiting on Weather
After hurrying from Aberdeen to the field, we arrived just in time for the weather becoming to bad for working, so now we have waited for nearly 30 hours for the seas to calm to workable condition. So here we are, in the middle of nowhere, the DP doing all the work, and we're here to monitor it's performance. Still this is a good time to do some of the maintenance we're scheduled to do, but we also had time for that when alongside. The only apparent difference, from being alongside, is that we're consuming more fuel, and the rocking of the vessel.
But still the view is far better then when alongside a key, in some industry area of Britain. No offense to the British, but some of their harbor areas could do with some tidying up. I will not claim that Norwegian harbors are all spotless, but you are more likely to find it slightly less industrialized.
Now after the ending of my 12 hours shift, I'm really looking forward to bunk up. We are supposed to start our project work tomorrow. I'm better off make a difference between the job I'm doing, and the job connected to the project. Since I'll be doing the same job regardless of the project work being performed or not. Hopefully the weather have come down, so we may commence work when I start my shift.
