My day at work.. a pictorial account...
Here's the boat that I spending too much time on.....



Port calls are nice in Brazil because you get to see things like big cranes....



But even better is the beach just down the road.....



The pics above are from a nice port called Arial Do Cabo (from my last trip offshore a couple of months back)....

Today, however, I wake up to this site...



Sailing into berth at Rio for a couple of days.... This makes me happy...



There's the bloke from the Bible and Sugarloaf Mountain....



And there's the Niteroi bridge...



Tugboat pulling us in....



Past the Brazilian Navy (some of which look like they are waiting for a re-fit)...





Tonight I'm off to the Maracana to watch Flamengo take on some Uruguayan team called Nacional in the South American Cup... Then will be enjoying a few beers in some square not too far from the boat... Maybe 'll get more interesting photos from the second half of my workday....

I'll see what I can do Spin... the girl in your avatar would make a more pleasing stowaway though...

The pictures are just from my phone but they are not turning out too bad... Petrobras have a silly rule that we are not allowed digital cameras out in the oilfield ... Feckin' stupid as every phone nowadays has a good camera on it....

Some all too familiar sights there... i spent 7 years working in Brazil myself. Actually lived on Copacabana for a year, that was shite, couldn't wait to leave. Alright for a holiday though.

Agreed Rawlins. I was renting a place on the beachfront for a year (about 4 blocks down from Help!)... i left to rent a place in Thailand after about 10 months. Got sick of Brazil rather quickly.l

^ ... I had a good few nights in Help disco and the short-time hotel one block back after my first stint in Brazil.... I've got 2 versions of a trip report on that somewhere else... Could post the 'soft' version here...(Or have I already?... off to search....)..

From Urban Dictionary... But I would have used the term for any old gadgee....

1. gadgee

a person who generaly gets no respect.
He was picking on this wee gadgee at the bar.
