Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy; have I had the day of days or what? Coming on top of the job from hell it's definitely been the day of hell, too. Thank science I'm p**sed!! The Job From HellSo, we set off to check a new pipeline was where it should be, then plough a trench under it, check it again , then plough the seabed back in on top of it, and check it again. This all works fine normally but the processors found that the second survey run, which went in the opposite direction to the first run, was misaligned with the first run by 2m. This is a lot in this game - especially when the client wants to know just where their pipe is. Every day some new calamity manifested itself. Eventually we nailed it down to the third-party ship's systems for tracking vehicles underwater were pants, having some Made in Chad gyrocompass and motion unit feeding in, so we shouted back at the captain and then ignored him, went below, unplugged their cheap kit and plugged our survey grade heading and motion units in. And all was gravy. Sort of. And so I sat in my corner and quietly ploughed (no pun intended) through all the BS ROV video, eventing all the features and joints and anodes and all the fun stuff. Again. And again. And again. And, lo, my part was shiny and my notes did thus proclaim, "It's as far as it's going until the processors come up with some corrected nav and a cross-profile export..." But, hey - we're a team and you have to feel for people dealing with all this s**t that's not their fault - including a top 50 recording artist on the iTunes country chart, no less! Pop on Amazon and search music for Colin Clyne. Hell - fork out 79p and download his new single!  Well, at least it gave us a good read. Have you ever considered your own blog web site wherein you could chronicle your experiences? I'll bet lots of other sea-faring web cruisers would have you book marked. |

You had to be there to enjoy the full effect, too. Quite a few laughs from even the most staid and straight-looking of ladies. And it felt quite empowering, too; knocking this chod off his perch with one deft sentence after an afternoon of endurance!  |

Thanks! I'll attend to it this evening.
I'm getting an echo in here right now. I know Fret is watching the game and have to think others are, too.
I'll be here for a few minutes, then off to catch the last of it.

It's a nice morning here as well but there are a few clouds - thunderheads, hanging around and it's too hot. Probably means rain later in the day. Typical July. News about the bird nest in the hanging flower basket. I remembered to ask her about it last night. Seems it was a great success. The eggs hatched. They peaked into the basket from the porch and saw the 3 little balls of dark down, then heard them peep when mama bird brought them food. They changed into small grey birds (just like mama). Both humans were outdoors and saw the last one fly away over the weekend. It was a real occasion for them. She told me mthey'd alwas remember this as "bird nest summer" |
