As I drew the short straw, I have to work this year over Christmas and New Year.
So I thought I would share with you the view as I relax after dinner following yet another gruelling days work ........not!
What a pity there's no bar on board! Just right for a G&T in the 28 degree heat.

Some "short straw"
Is that Indonesia?
Yes, we are off Fakfak, a small port on the north-west coast of Irian Jaya (Papua New Guinea) doing a seismic survey.

Someone been making subs again???
None that I've seen.
The whales and dolphins don't seem to mind the guns going off. they swim almost to within 100m of the ship.
How do you get internet access? Satellite?
Yes, satellite broadband and telephones via Norway ( Norsat). Unfortunately, this vessel is not equiped with Satellite TV.

A light snack for New Years Day ....
After yesterdays open air BBQ, the cooks could not let us starve on New Years Day.
So they prepared a light snack for us.
No wonder I never seem to loose weight !!!!

I have a neighbour/friend who has a very similar lifestyle! He works on an oil exploration boat and can be - literally - anywhere in the world for a six week stint. He then gets six weeks at home before he is sent to a different station. I suspect that the idea is that by moving the staff around there is less likelihood of industrial espionage!
Hope that you don't get a cold water posting!! Have a great New Year!

Well, tomorrow 20th Jan is crew change day and the long trek back to the UK begins.
A total of 4 flights and 36+ hours travel !!!
Still I get a few weeks at home before rejoining this vessel off Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Phillipines for 5 weeks.
As I said, it's a hard life .. but someones got to do it !!
