The Geco - Resolution:
I'm back on a 3D vessel towing 6 streamers!! It was a scary sight for me when arriving by helicopter on crew change day, it felt like a long time since I was on a multi streamer vessel. |

The
"Reso" in Eden
NSW Australia.

The weather was the main trouble this trip. Either as large swell causing problems like broken distance ropes or fog preventing us from going out in the work boat. We brought all the gear onboard during the first part of the trip due to the ongoing problems in the engine room after drydock in April last year. We got 30 hrs in Eden NSW. For me it was nice getting to know the crew when off work as well. The last part of the trip the crew showed the clients what they were made of (it's really hard to stay off those chocolate cookies when sitting on-line all the time). |

The food onboard was extremly good thanks to the two new cooks. It was really difficult not having it all, but the plates were too small. Normally you can tell what day it is by looking at the menu, but not onboard here! A new menu everyday and also a new "quote of the day" as well (Hire a teenager now, while they still know everything). |

The fog gave us poor visibility. Here the port lead-ins on a foggy night. |
The fog is rolling in one morning. |
Before heading for Eden, full house on the gun deck. |

We caught a Sun fish on the lead-in while doing streamer work. It seemed to have been dead for a long time. It was not exactly pretty. I am used to eating ugly fish, but this one had been dead for too long. The Instr. dept. had a really nice screen saver on one of their machines showing a lot of old vessels. When will seismic vessels look this pretty? Andrew S. was the one knowing everything about these vessels. I wasn't too found of some of the other screen savers around, but they were popular in curtain departments. |
