All is well in MC 696

Today we are in Mississippi Canyon in the GOM working on a long stretch of pipeline for a major oil company. We have been here for approx. a week on site and expect to be here for another few weeks. The weather hasn't been bad since Ike, only an occasional front. We are working in 5000 fsw + and have already had multiple problems with our sub and the other one on board. My sub currently seems to be working perfect at the present, knock on wood, but that could change at any moment. They are finicky machines and there are lots of stresses on them. Hopefully things will continue smooth.... Till next time, enjoy.
