That is the Seven Vega, our newest vessel, a rigid pipelayer (as opposed to a flexible pipelayer that I am on)

 

[Fenway Frank]

Very posh

That's not a euphemism then?

How many blokes are on your ship and I have to ask, what are the conditions like?

Merry Christmas lads! Hope you all had a good one

How many blokes are on your ship and I have to ask, what are the conditions like?

When we are fully manned for projects there are 100 onboard, just now as we are doing maintenance / repair we only have about 40 on. Conditions are good, we share cabins when full but you share with someone on the opposite shift, so you are never really sharing, I have my own cabin just now. Each cabin has its own en suite shower / toilet and TV, with satellite channels. We have a gym, a huge TV lounge, a games room with musical instruments X-boxes etc. We have wifi for when out at sea, and the food is pretty good, this was my Christmas dinner yesterday!

 

[Fenway Frank]

Wow, that’s impressive ! You get paid as well ?

 

[Fenway Frank]

@morty , I presume you work 7 days a week ?

 

[OldRobert]

Highly unlikely I'd have thought after eating all that FF. I reckon about 30-40 mins per day, what do you reckon?!

Aye.

No I'm not...

That looks impressive Morty. Certainly different to my years on the old wooden Ton class minesweepers in the 60s ( which I enjoyed by the way ) Good luck Morty, enjoy it while you can

 

[OldRobert]

There you go GIR, one Ton class Minesweeper. Bit different from Morty's deluxe vessel!
