This ship will be my home for the next month - my employer has delivered the system used for launch and recovery of the ROV submersible which will be used for monitoring the drilling progress.

Just like being at war - long periods of absolutely nothing happening (enabling me to finally dig into the work backlog from the office!) interrupted by frantic moments when everything seemingly happens at once!
