I have found a routine which makes life pretty enjoyable out here on the rig. Firstly my system is now back under control after the initial wobble so that is great! Secondly I now go to the gym at 0415 to get a good session in while all is quiet and so that I can then have a sauna and shower before breakfast.
Work is good and I am slowly building key relationships onboard. Last night the welfare team had organised Bingo! I had 5 very average rounds while everyone else was winning and then unbelievably, won the main final round and got a prize containing a golf kit (Tiger Woods pc game, new golf balls, a Galileo scope to judge distance, a golf shirt, cap, a new parker pen to sign autographs [or legal papers in Tiger’s case] etc). Very nice and unpredicted result :)
The offline report writing and presenting work is pretty relaxed and definitely less stressful than on the Explorer.

Chat soon.
