Here I am sitting on a boat http://www.ctcmarine.com/Nov%2005%20Mae ... asheet.pdf
in the middle of the Danish Sector...or maybe Norwegian waters...not really sure :oops:

Got flown out here earlier today, at 15:00 I was still in Great Yarmouth, a plane was chartered for me, I flew to Esjberg and then another hour or so in a Chartered Helicopter, eventually arrived here at 7PM (6PM our time)

ROV's are now fixed and waiting to go back in the water... Boat and crew will be on hire again :-D

Can you tell I'm bored waiting....... Get me outta here :grin:

We need photographic evidence for this to work :thumb: (Only a bit of fun after all)

Blinding idea - photographic evidence a must.

Funnily enough I was thinking of putting a thread of similar nature up when I was in York last week and thought it would be fun, maybe we could have a map of the world and put flags of all the places that the Big Power t-shirt has been to. When you click on the flag it would open up the picture.... :-k

I'm still here (Offshore on a boat that is) Cameras are a non starter here, there is a great fear that if a flash goes off it sets of the deluge system (the flash indicates an explosion to the IR sensors) and you really don't want to be on the receiving end of a seawater deluge :o TRUST ME

time is 2:30 on Saturday morning, just fixed the ROV manipulator hydraulics, its going High Pressure Watter Jetting now <sigh> am I going to be home soon???

The weather has been so bad 11mts of swell (boy was I sick :( ) no chance of a helicopter landing on the ships helideck, next one is Monday I'm told :twisted:

Maybe if I punch someone they will get me off sooner :grin:

Rambling now...... back soon
