still around - 11/20/10 01:14 AM
Am still working for BP. Doing very little fishing. Can only get out for about an hour after work once a month if lucky. A lot of us Captains have even fished off the road or under the lights from the parking lots.
A new contract will be offered after Thanksgiving. As far as I know I will have 3 days off at that time. Have been working 7 days a week since about the beginning. With all the downsizing many of the guys are getting out fishing. The fish have been impressive. I will keep doing this as long as I can. There is talk of it lasting for a few years but the way BP is trying to run out I think it will end soon. TIRED a lot. Boat holding up. Things are going well for us.
Life is Good!
