Anyone else stuck offshore on the computer thinking about fishing / family instead of working?

Ray · #2 11-30-2009, 03:48 AM

Yep...
We got a lot of offshore workers on here.
But not many at night like you and me.

cool, a survey guy! We are loading up supplies right now (drill mud, gel, drill string, fuel, and water) and getting ready to bring it to the Discoverer Deep Seas. Its about a 14 hour ride out there.

So what are some of the names of the guys working for Oceaneering?

DownSouth , The LAney is pretty sweet I've worked on it off and on since she was built . They call her Cajun Power -- she has 30,000HP way to much for whats done with her.. I dont work onboard all the time . I move from job to job but it is always nice working for Shell they take care of me pretty good

Pao De Acucar means Sugar Loaf (or sweet bread)..............its named after a mountain in Brazil (MT. Sugar Loaf in english). Its the famous mountain that has that big statue of Jesus on it. Petrobras has a lease on the boat so they go to name it.

Its pronounced Pao De Asuca

I used to work at the main office for ECO and i went to NAS when they was building the Laney and i saw them huge A$$ engine's , very impressing !!! she is the only boat to vibrate our office in slip# 8 when she here..

Ray · #16 12-01-2009, 05:03 PM

Does Capt. Jody work on that boat?
If so, I have drank a few beers with him...

Bulleye · #17 12-01-2009, 07:38 PM

Not on the Laney .. Hey did you make it home today ? The weather sucks we are running through some 15-20' seas so ask me if I'm dizzy---- (Roger on that)

Ray · #18 12-01-2009, 10:14 PM

Yep, worked all night, got 2 hours sleep, then jumped on a chopper for an hour, then 5 hr. drive home, in the rain.
Trying to stay up as long as I can so I can swap back to a daytime life.

This place is addictive ain't it???
