The sea is pretty f-in awesome…
Posted by tmz_99 on January 28th, 2008 filed in UncategorizedSo finally I have comms back after what has been an extended tow.
It’s been pretty rough going with the swells coming up to 4metres regularly.
I spent hours down on the 3rd level gangway, watching the water hit the decks and swirl around the rig, the effect was not unlike watching a hyrdo-electric dam, except it was perpetual, the power and ferocity of the sea was amazing – and realistically it’s smooth sailing at these levels by most vessels.
Unfortunately a rig is very un-waterdynamic, much like a floating brick.
Only 8 days till I get back home 🙂 Can’t wait to get back to my family, gf and friends 🙂 Going to be a great time home, still unsure about going off to Cebu in the Phillipines, just waiting on my travel agent to get back to me – will also do 3 days in Singapore on the way home.
Looking forward on going on some rides as well 🙂 I ordered a DynoJet PC3 for the bike today.. I’m happy to say that once that and the new sprocket is fitted that’ll be about all that can be done to the bike performance wise (without going stupid with a turbo or NOS, but I’ll save that for the next bike).

“Much like a floating brick” – I must insert that quote into casual conversation some time.
