This is how we eat out here

This is how we ate!
Not bad at all.
We see some light for about 30min a day, then all back to darkness!
Same as SA and Eskom!

Chris, ons word gehuur deur die groot olie mense soos Shell, BP, Exxon Mobil en Statoil om vir hulle olie en gas te soek in die see.
Ons is op die oomblik in die arktiese sirkel.
Ons skiet lug oor data kabels wat ons le, en dan kan ons sien wat onder die see bed aangaan.
Natuurlike gas of Olie word gesoek.
Ons is aan die begin punt van die petrol proses om reservoirs te soek en te sien hoe ver hulle depleted is.
Ek is die medic en HSE ou aan boord.
Doen 5/5 rotasies deur die jaar en ek doen dit nou al vir die laaste 7 jaar.
Voor dit was ek 'n ALS paramedic in Suid Afrika.

Re: This is how we eat out here
oooiiiiiii .....
om so ver van die huis te wees is bad ....
maar om dan nog die HSE titel te dra !
nogal n interessante kombinasie om beide medic en HSE te wees.
jare terug n ou geken wat dieselfde tipe werk gedoen het. Hy was n operateur van n afstandbeheerde duikboot, ook om olie en minerale op die see bodem te soek. Sy rotasies was maar n gemors !! Meeste van die tyd moes hy langer op die skip bly om n zone klaar te maak, en dan raak die tyd op die land net korter.

Dis goedkoper vir die company om n duel titel role aan te skaf.
Dit spaar ook natuurlik 1 bunk op die boot.
Ons is 50 aan boord, so dit maak dinge makliker.

Re: This is how we eat out here
Difficult to be away from home for so long, especially at this time.
Funny how that feeling vanishes when you see all that foreign currency flowing into your bank account

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.
