⚓️Journal of a Sailor V⚓️

-= Log: 1=-

-= Day 1=-

-= Time of writing: 1930 =-

-= Weather conditions: Mostly clear skies. =-

I left home at 0700, and arrived roughly 3 hours later aboard the vessel. A vessel with a sizeable crew. There was some paperwork and instructional videos to get through, but once that was over, it was time to get my hands dirty.

Spent the remainder of my shift assisting others on deck whilst trying to form a mental map of the vessel along with asking around for info about the ship and the type of work that she's made for. More on that later.

For now, my shift is over and I've got 12 hours completely to myself. We've just slipped our moorings and are underway to the North Sea proper.

-= Day 2 =-

-= Time of writing: 1010 the following day. =-

-= Weather conditions: Warm and sunny. =-

Not much to comment on for day two, as the whole day was spent cleaning the decks, starting from the bridge deck, down to the forward deck and finishing off on the main deck. Still more to do the next day.

-= Day 3 =-

-= Time of writing: 2100 =-

-= Weather conditions: Clear during the day, more cloud cover towards the evening. =-

More deckwashing today, plus some extra familiarization. Couple of meetings too, especially in regards to the job of decommissioning an offshore installation. We're now at anchor at the location and we'll stay here for two to three weeks as we take it apart.

Looking forward to seeing how this'll go, as it's the first time I'm involved in work of this sort.

So far I can say that I like the ship, as well as the folks aboard. Friendly colleagues, for one, and the ship is quite luxurious all things considered.

-= Day 4 =-

-= Time of writing: 1932 the next day. =-

-= Weather conditions: Clear skies most of the day. =-

Well, this log entry slipped my mind for a few.

The day was mostly spent keeping watch over the gangway connecting the ship to the platform, including keeping an eye on who goes off onto it.

Aside from that, there are some other odd jobs on the aft deck, mostly involving hoisting, lifting and the preparation for the materials to be hoisted.

I did, however, injure myself on something, but I'll be alright as it's nothing major. At most it's annoying in that it makes working with heavy gear a bit more difficult.

Should pass, given some time.

-= Day 5 =-

-= Time of writing: 1938 =-

-= Weather conditions: Rain and wind in the morning, sunny in the afternoon. =-

Immediate follow up on the last entry; I got my injury checked out by the onboard medic. It's nothing major, but still painful. Been described some pain meds and with those it's a bit better.

Other than that, I've been up the platform myself today, to help out with things, such as cleaning the heli deck, lashing loose objects in order to secure the first part of the rig for lifting and taking down materiel from the rig by crane.

Not much else to report at this time.

-= Day 6 =-

-= Time of writing: 1949 =-

-= Weather conditions: Sunny in the morning, shifting to rain, string winds and high waves over the course of the afternoon. =-

Welp. I overworked myself this morning and had to pay the ship's medic another visit. No change in the situation with my injury (bruised ribs), but in order for it to heal properly, I'm relegated to light duties only. Right now that means gangway watch. No heavy lifting, hauling, pulling or what have you.

So, that's what I'm doing from now on.

As for the project, the first third of the rig has been removed and put on a barge, and cutting of the second section has been nearly completed. All that remains is to remove that, followed up by the underwater section.

We also managed to dredge up some scrap that was lying on the seafloor. To which quite a lot of sea life was clinging onto. From anemones to seasponges, starfish and crabs.

No doubt we'll see a lot more when the final section of the rig is lifted up from the seafloor.

-= Day 7 =-

-= Time of writing: 1927 =-

-= Weather conditions: Sunny all day with a slight wind. =-

More gangway watch, plus some small tasks here and there as needed. The usual.

My ribs still hurt immensely in the morning, but the painkillers do help.

Other than that, two-thirds of the rig has been cut loose and hoisted up during my shift.

Now, all that remains is the underwater portion, which will take a significantly longer time to complete.

But with that said, the first quarter of my contract is over now. And with that, this log will go up.

P.S: I can't show pictures of the job in question yet, as I need to ask permission for that first. But some beauty shots I can use for the next log.

✨️May Polaris guide you always.✨️
