oh how he's grown

this was taken by uncle pat at marianne and sherif's wedding in november 08

north sea sunset

bobbing around in the north sea

this is the view I had today...

after 30 hours of sailing and some stomach-churning force 9 gales (yes, I threw up!) we made it out to the rig late last night
we'll be waiting here - properly in the middle of nowhere - until the drilling starts on the rig, when we'll collect the contaminated drilling waste and take it safely and cleanly to shore for treatment

yay, snow!
