All Blue

It's an all-blue day today...

clear blue skies and clear blue sea.
the sea is so clear and so calm that i can see the exact color and shape of the few fishes
that were swimming close to the surface.
not to forget the nice warm sunshine bearing down on us.

there's hardly any waves on the sea surface...
juz a dead calm...

we're juz standing by waiting for the actual work to start.
tentative date for dat is 12 sept. so it's abt another 17 days to go.
and once it's started, it's another 4-5 weeks before it's done...

looks like the internet access here on the barge and the fact dat there's abt nothing to do,
makes it easier for me to blog... hahaha...

think abt 6 chopper flights have landed today.
saw the last 2 as the pilots made their landing and take off.
coz i'm stationed on the bridge and it's juz right next to the helipad,
i could see everything dat was going on -
the emergency crew on standby dressed in their fire suits and
w their water canons at the ready.
the baggage crew, getting the bags off the chopper and lining them up at the edge of the helipad.
the pilot getting off and doing his post-landing and pre-takeoff checks.

and it's only 2.50pm now. about another 9 hours to go and i'll be off shift.
guess i'll b off now...
have a great sunday everyone!!
