One more week on the Boat

This is Thursday, Jan. 28th, 2010. I have one week remaining until crew change. Went outside this morning and had to take a few pictures of the sunrise. When I see a sight like this I wonder why I want off the boat so bad. Then I recall that this is winter and the next 14 to 17 foot storm is just around the corner. Fact is we are expecting one this coming weekend, I am just hoping it will not be real bad and that it will come down in time to go home on the 4th.

When I get off I plan to go to Dallas/Wills Point Texas for a few days, have to check on things and pick up the odd item or two. Then it is back to Mexico on the evening of the 7th.. In a strange sort of way I do miss Mexico, looking forward to walking on the beach with Kay and the dogs, and being able to sit, stand, sleep, or eat when I want to and not when it is scheduled. LOL..

Enjoy the Sunrise.

Riding the wave in the Gulf of Mexico

Been on the boat for two plus weeks now so thought I would do an update on all the fun of work.
Have a new supply boat that bent the crap out of our side rail when it tried to come along side the first time. That run was called off because of bad weather,, second try the next day went much better and we got some much needed food and replacement parts.

Next few days were spent sorting out and taking inventory on all supplies, in between working on any gear that went down. Once that was all done it was time to secure everything for bad sea's.

That brings us to today, currently riding waves from 14 to 18 foot and just trying not to fall on my face when I walk. Nothing can be done as far as work goes except to monitor what is going on so we know what to fix when it is all over in 48 hours...

Hoping to load a few photos of the Back deck area that I work in, it shows the type of Sea's we are having.

50% trip completed Sunday morning...
