Offshore Experience


*

I'm back onshore and missing the magnificent view offshore. Everything seems to be sooooooo huge that I could barely describe it. Being in the middle of the sea, I truly appreciate God's amazing creation for the world seems extraordinary peaceful out there, not forgetting my precious phone line, steady walking/sleeping/eating/bathing place where it is not shaking vigorously or even a little, gosh i miss home even just for few days.

We planned to catch the sunset in the evening after a very early dinner but seems like we missed it. Yes, we kept feeding ourselves non stop on the barge and slept like babies. Because the barge was moving left - right - left constantly, the theory is like we are sleeping in a baby sway, we have no problem sleeping everyday, except when we are walking and the rest, we felt dizzy everywhere we went. I was off the full PPE zone and thats why I was in casual.

During the nighttime when we had nothing to do, we would just came out to the deck enjoying the sea breeze and watching the operation going on as rigs never sleep. Managed to watch how nitrogen tank was transferred from the boat to the barge and placed on it. The whole process seems to be so dangerous to us. One mistake and pffff, bid goodbye to the world.

What I can say about offshore is it was truly an experience worth experiencing :P You gotta be there to know how we actually feel.
