Back on track

I must admit that the reason why I have not made any entries to my blog the last couple of weeks is not my extremely tight schedule, or my incredible busy program. Frankly it's my lack of anything to do, that leaves me with nothing to tell, that is the reason why there have been no updates. I need to get myself some hobbies while I'm off shift, part from drinking coffee, and wearing out the couch.

I'm back on board, and we're for once straight off to sea, upon nearly completion of the crew change. Since we were in such a hurry the last man to arrive came by helicopter two days after the planned change, so there is no room for delays.

Currently we are digging a trench for a power-cable, at a rate of nearly 400m per hour, it might not seem very fast, but if one take into consideration that the trench is nearly 1 meter deep, and half a meter wide and 350 meters below the surface, it'll guess it's not that bad after all

IDPOA

In these modern days there is of course a forum designated for DP Operators. This might be one of the best sites for anyone wishing to learn more about DP, ask questions or share knowledge. Anyone interested in the future of Dynamic Positioning should join here. I've been a member for some time, and have found it very interesting and worth while.

As I have learned from my period working with DP, there is always someone more skilled, that have more experience, that is willing to share their knowledge. I would also think that a forum specific for such a specialized subject is better any day than more generalized forums.
