We have been alongside in Stanley for a week, discharging the cargo from Halley and mobilising for the charter.
All the FIDs have gone back to the UK, along with one of the engineering cadets and we have gained 7 persons from a mixture of companies to do this job.
I’ve been busy working on deck, greasing hinges, cleaning scuppers (drains from deck to over the side), being bowman in the FRC and doing fire watches.
A fire watch is required whenever we are cutting or welding on deck, it involves one person on deck with a fire extinguisher and one person directly under the deck where the work is taking place, making sure no fires are started by sparks or the residual heat from the work doesn’t melt something below decks, causing a small fire.
Today we’ve been out testing all the equipment in preparation for sailing on Monday evening.
The weather has been changeable, from glorious sunshine to heavy rain with F7 winds.
