Thought a few of you might be interested in this.
Currently I am offshore working.
65' 35" N and 005' 17" E it is half way up the west side of Norway.
Presently we are experiencing some unpleasant weather.
70knot winds at the moment.
Earlier this afternoon at it was 64-knot winds wave height of 12 meters and deck heave of 15 meters.
Needless to say we are being bashed about a bit. We have lost some in-sea equipment and tangled the rest. According to the weather reports it should subside by morning some 7 hours off.
I don’t think I will get a lot of sleep tonight.
I’m sure things are a lot better back there in Brisbane
The photos are of water crashing the back deck
My line of work is marine seismic, we are about 110 Nautical miles off the coast of Kristiansund, Norway.
At the time of this post is 3:am local time, which is 11am Bris time.
The storm hasn’t calmed any after 12 hours.
I feel sorry for the guys in the north part of Gulf of Mexico where the winds were 170 miles an hour. Now that would have been scarey.
Hi Saphire.
marine seismic is oil and gas exploration, we map the ocean floor from the bottom to about 7 km into the earth. the oil companies study these maps and determine if there is anything there.
There wasnt any green faces on the shift I do but I felt sorry for the other guys that were trying to sleep Rando.
Great picture Kendall. Do you have any more of the type of clothing you have to wear or up in the wheel house. Does your job intail inside work or are you one to get wet during the working day? Looks like it would never be boring
