The only prescription is more PELICANS!

Today, for the most part wasn't just any other day in port. It was the day when we found out we'll be here for another 10+ days, which all in all might add up to 3 weeks worth of port time. For those of you who not familiar with the oil exploration business, that's bad for us. The less production time, the less money we make in gain-share. But anyhow, just means more early rise gangway watch shifts for me, hehe.

This afternoon around 230p I took the camera out for a scout around. Took a few more "stylish" photos if you will, as well as more of the surrounding area and of course the wild life. The pelicans were very active today, diving in the waters, chasing the gulls away... made for some good photos.

So really this means I have THAT much more opportunities to take more pelican pics and share them with you :eyeroll:

We have had a few enjoyments thusly. We watched The Happening and You Don't Mess With Zohan the last two night. Zohan is HILARIOUS, you must see it!
