Finished the last one had a couple of hours of paperwork and fixing problems then straight into another cable (at this rate we will have finished in a couple of months).. Looks like weather may effect us in the next couple of days but right now it’s all hands to the deck to get the [...]

Well nearly the end of the month again and at least being busy means the days are going quickly.. But starting to take their tole on everyone now too.. The food is still very good, just everyone is so on edge you could cut the atmosphere with a spoon.. Still we seem to be getting [...]

Well as this is the first proper cable it seems to be taking a long time to lay.. Wonder if this will be the way in future? Hmm Anyway done now (even though was a right nightmare sorting it out).. And off to start another one shortly, very stressed on the Bridge at the moment [...]

Expecting to get off on the 17th.. yey so should be cool. half way there now.. can I hang in there a bit longer? Who knows? Been laying cable again and had to go up a tower to check a messenger wire too.. Oh what fun.. Fix some computer hassle, sort out sealing kits and [...]

Well things have started to pick up with the weather coming down so I have been on deck a lot sorting out issues and slowly more and more stuff is getting shuffled onto my plate . Found myself doing a silly shift again (16+ hours) and starting to feel a little jaded. Still needs must [...]

Well the weather looks like it’s going to have a large impact on how well things go on here right now.. We are weathered down again today and most likely tomorrow too, makes it a good time to arrange all the parts etc needed and get a list together so we can get the stuff [...]

Well was asked again about staying aboard and finally said yes, but only if made up (promoted) as basically I have been sorting all the stuff out as and when from day one, well all the techy stuff anyway lol. So seemed only normal to ask for some sort of remuneration for all the hard [...]

Well the other vessel was away when I woke up this morning and it seems we should be leaving sometime tonight.. Had some more problems with the Carousel before finally managed to get everything sorted.. Should have the camera done tomorrow (only one mind as that was all that arrived on Saturday lol). Managed to [...]

Well after walking on deck yesterday and supplying a PSU to fix the Carousel it was all stop again for another fault (opps) anyway managed to get some more systems up and running and the cable is still being loaded on now so should be finished soon (with any luck). Found a couple of guitars [...]

Arranged some cable runs with some of the other guys on here before the order from RS turned up so that we had the bits ready to go when the cameras and other bits and bobs arrived.. Sadly when they did arrive it was a bit of a letdown as some stuff was missing from [...]
