Azerbaijan Diaries -3- Baku (...still...)

So friday the 13th today...scary!! It has been one busy day, because we had to go to the BP offices to change the location of some of our sampling stations near the platforms. Basically we have been told that we were too close to pipelines and cables on the seabed and could be a chance to damage some with the grab if the boat was to drift a little. So since we dont want our gear to get snagged and certainly want to avoid being responsible for a total black-out on one of the platfroms, we had to look all different marine charts and replot some of these locations, but it's all sorted now thankfully.

The wind has picked up again so we had another slight delay. The plan as it stands is to bring most of our gear to the quayside tomorrow and just stocking it in a container, then the vessel should arrive on sunday, offload all their gear and load some of ours. So we are expecting to finish everything by Tuesday and start sailing in the afternoon/evening but I am learning not to count on that.

A part from that tonight I will gather some people and go somewhere to watch Italy-Romania...Let's hope for something better that the last game.

Un abbraccio grosso al marmocchio Arno che ha fatto 2 mesi ieri! (sorry for the delay :)
