This baby here is the reason I am so far away from the family right now. She is not the vessel upon which I am sitting right now - but the one carrying away the 'black gold' from this FPSO. For those of you who don't know what an FPSO looks like - it's not much different from the oil tanker in the pic - but just plonk a big production process on top and there you have it!
Not very glamorous is it? Not somewhere you'd expect a camera yielding mum to be - but this is my alter ego. A reminder of my life BC (before children) indeed it was in the middle of the sea that BFS and I met - so really it has a place in my heart (not this particular spot - just the offshore life) Maybe the fact I'm a pisces has something to do with it too. I actually feel rather serene when out at sea (despite the constant urge to throw up when on a moving vessel!!!)
I once again have to remain here another night - circumstances outwith my control have kept me here - I just hope upon hope that I get to make my flight tomorrow evening and no other obstacles stand in my way of returning home to my boys - all three of them. I think the biggest one of all is needing his sidekick right now if only to get himself some well earned rest!
Only a woman could work the zodiac into all this shite!
ReplyDeleteI'll show BB the boat in the morning.
Oh, BTW, strangely it looks just as cloudy as the north sea. I had pictured something altogether more "blue"
