Working offshore is a challenge very few would ever understand without experiencing it themselves. Time away from family, friends, and everyday things. Plus the exposure to different types of elements working on the water. Like the weather, continual motion, and the noise of engines. It isn't for everyone, but for those of us are able to stick it out, it does have it's rewards. The beauty and solitude can be awesome. Sunsets and skies are intensified by the reflective water. Weather and the way it can change so quickly can be fascinating to those who enjoys it. The true power and forces of God can be witnessed first hand as a 25 foot wave tosses a ship the size of football field, or bigger, around like a tin can in a bath tub. It is better than anything any amusement park could ever throw at you.
But after over 30 years I have decided to call it quits. The changes over the past 10 years or so along with the need to be closer to home makes returning for me unattractive. But as I remanise on the good ole days I will post more photos here.
