I made it to the rig by Wednesday afternoon (I left home around 1330 on Monday). I managed to stay awake long enough to finish my first watch. Since then I’ve been trying to catch up on sleep. It takes me a week or so until I feel halfway normal again after a long trip like that. 🙁
It’s the weekend so we have a little bit of a change of routine. Today we had a nice BBQ out on the bow. The cooks did a great job (as usual with the BBQ). They had ribs, chicken, sausage, roast beef, hamburgers, shrimp, salad, corn and all the fixin’s.
There was even a choice of sodas and (near) beer!
The weather was nice, it was already getting dark and there was a nice cool breeze. The clouds had started clearing up (for some reason it’s always overcast here), we could see some stars. 🙂
The weekly BBQ is something we all look forward to.
Tomorrow should be drill day. We look forward to those too, but not in quite the same way. 😉

Yummie.
Over here in Africa, the BBQs are definitely the best meals we have. They’re always good in the states too, but we have some better meals to compare them to. 😉
Saturdays are made for bbq. Doesn’t matter where you are. I just wrote about this yesterday (Saturday). Check it out when you get a free moment. http://thetampafoodguy.com/2014/12/20/meat-fire-good/
How I miss the bbq parties! What drill is it ? Fire drill? 😉
They used to be a lot more fun years ago (before it had to be NEAR beer). 😉
Turned out we only had abandon ship drill, fire drill next week I guess.
Haha.. 😀
Oh did you give the verbal order Captain?! 😀
nah, I’m only the DPO on this one. 🙂
Okay 🙂
