Anchor Handling

We spent the complete evening and night with anchor handling for the Hermod. The current situation looked promising in the beginning of the evening but became worse very soon. Ending in current rates very uncomfortable for proper anchor handling. On this picture you see the Retriever battling with this current while bringing back the starboard-5 anchor. The Hermod has twelve of them and this one was run out between two platforms before the bridge was installed.
Now everything is brought back and we are very happy (at least on the tugs) that we left the Angostura location heading back for the quiet waters of the Bay of Paria. My job is also done with this and I will be relieved soon and fly home.
Maybe a last picture tomorrow?
