I'm hearing ya! I said I'd work offshore for 5 years then pull the pin. Been here 4 1/2 yrs and it feels like I started last year. And after the divorce I'll be out here for at least the next 10!

wahoo!

I like that your biggest worry with the missus about buying a new bike is that she's pissed she hasn't got one sounds like a top lass

That'll be the Americas Cup and we won it back. Would love to get back home when it's run there next ...

just gone the stroke of midnight which marked halfway through this swing offshore, bloody seems to be dragging. Which isn't giving me the warm fuzzies about next swing which is going to be 4 weeks
