What's work does the boat do ?. I see a lot of cranes and a large deck but not much equipment.

Did you get your pocket picked. I'm told that the Brazilian pickpockets are the best in the world.

The boat does survey work and generally assists with new pipeline installations in the oilfields.... there are 2 ROV's (Remote Operated Vehicles) that are launched over the side that are not shown in the pictures...

I haven't been pickpocketed yet but kept my hand on my wallet when I was in the crowded maracana stadium last night...

I just process data from the survey and make up charts and listings of the results for inclusion in the reports... Boring really, but perks and time off make it OK...

Do you ever go to Sao Sebastiao?

I was on British Success for a 1 year charter to Petrobras and we used to load crude oil at Angra Dos Reis and discharge at Rio and Sao Sebastiao.

Sao Sebastiao is far better than Rio in my opinion. Its just a nice small town/whore village built up around oil tanks. It had everything that jolly jack tar needs - and you only ever needed to pay the girl once, after that she was your girlfriend and would be waiting for you at the gates to the terminal. Mine was a black girl with huge tits.She told me she had an American husband who worked on the rigs.

Happy days

I'd say that accolade belongs to the Peruvians. Brazilians tend to hold you up with a gun or knife.

Great country anyway- nice pic's rawlins.

During the rime i was in Brazil I never had one spot of bother there, but could list at least 20 people i know who did. It's a country where you really need to take care. The best thing to do is not look like a tourist, hang with the locals and not talk to loudly in your gringo accent - If you know some Portugeuese make an effort to get the accent right. That's what i did, you don't have to know a lot just make sure what you say is correct.

Anyway, why do you need 2 ROV's? The Brazzo's get a lot of downtime with the one they normally use or what?

Glad to see no pics of you standing there droning in some classroom somewhere in Bangkok with sweat patches under your arms and with you looking hungover, dressed badly and stinking of booze.

Good question.... I suppose it's in the contract to cut down on downtime and one is set up for general work and the other is set up for survey work....

They are doing great, now nearly 0.00000000001 percent of the Thai people speak a bit of English

OK that aint including bargirls and stuff like "do you take it up the tradesmans entrance".

I've done a few up the tradesmans entrance including this one on the left:

But that's a different story altogether.
