An interesting day (like the Chinese curse: “may you live in interesting times” 😕 ), the last 24 hours. We started to recover the first riser, and had a problem with the recovery winch. We managed a quick software fix in the control system to get it running again (did some overtime after my shift!) and as I left deck, things were going well. I got back on shift about 8 hours later to find that they were just about to start laying the end down again in a safe place, as the weather was supposed to be getting up again before we’d be able to finish the recovery. One step forward and another back! The latest news is that the weather may be getting so bad as we may have to return to port for a day or two. 🙄
