Today is the day we were supposed to start loading everyhting on the ship and get ready to go, but in the last couple of days the departure date has been postponed further and further. The problem is that our vessel is doing another job at the moment and because of bad weather and some equipment failure they are running late. Now we have been told of a possible mobilisation date on this Sunday, but no one is sure of course. It is unbelievable how this industry works...they make you rush like a hamster on amphetamines and then they put everything on hold.
Hovever, these extra days gave us the time to make sure everything is sorted and well planned and also some time to chill out. I have been moved from the insanely expensive hotel I was staying in to an apartement in the centre, so everything is a bit more flexible. I am walking around the city, going for a tea, but it is getting a bit boring. I can't do the trip in the mountains now because if I get stuck there and we suddenly need to leave for the survey I am screwed. So I am just chilling and maybe will go for a ride just outside Baku with some of the guys on the week end.

that's a little bit stupid that you have to wait, but enjoy the contry. Did you bring your good camera? Make a fotoreportage maybe of Azerbaijan, because you probably will never go there anymore.
