Hello!!

[Stuart]

from the middle of the north sea!!

As its been a while since i was last on, none of you (apart from martyn) will know that my work has put me through my offshore survival and now im on my first trip offshore.

Im currently on the Ensco100 about halfway across the north sea between Aberdeen and Oslo. 6 days in and im loving this life, not generally over worked but busy enough for my 12 hour shifts although im not doing anything now till thursday when more equipment comes in. On thursday im going to be running a subsea xmas tree, which is basically a huge frame with lots of valves in it.
This trip is going to last 2 weeks hopefully then I will get a few days off then hopefully another trip away again.

hope everyone is doing well

not sure bud, not before monday at the moment, but may change at any minute. I was told by my work that it was 3 weeks, then a week, then a week n a half, then once i was here i was supposed to be 5 days, now im 7 in and not going home in the next 6 haha

the food here is hotel quality too, havent had one bad meal yet either, starting to get a bit boring tho when ive nothing to do, only so far you can have a walk
