“Up Helly 2019 - Lerwick’s viking festival of fire will be on Shetlands webcams about 7-00pm on Tuesday on https://www.shetlandwebcams.com”

If the weather clears also 29/30 might make it.

I'm going to go over the cliff here and say I think that was Aduk's way of saying, hello, welcome back - haven't heard from you on this board since May. How are you?

Hi Ken

Have a look on Windy.com - as well as https://marine.meteoconsult.co.uk/marine-weather-forecast/weather-forecast-open-sea-areas.php# - we're in Area 23/Fairisle.

Monday 28 not looking so good now and neither is next week if you look at the wave level on Windy.

Hurricane (Typhoon Tempest) Limited

See filing history at https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10654818/filing-history

Current Status - notice to strike off the register given on 15th January, unless advised to the contrary will be dissolved on 15 March.

And under Business Review in December 2017 accounts:
The company was incorporated on 6 March 2017. The principal activity of the Company is oil and gas exploration and extraction. On 24 March 2017 the Company purchased $3.5 million of intangible assets from other group companies at cost. On 8 December 2017 the Company relinquished its P1485 and P1835 licences (Tempest and Typhoon). As such the intangible and evaluation assets relating to those licences of $3.6 million have been fully written off. The company is in the process of being voluntarily struck off as a result of the relinquishment of the licences.

"If you've stopped counting, how do you know you're 49 in 4 weeks?"

I knew it made no sense, I knew I'd get called on it ... seriously do forget sometimes and have to double check every now and again which doesn't bode well long term ...

Have to do my tax return this weekend, fortunately pretty straightforward but not my favourite job.

JK,

Then wishing you many happy returns - Monday might bring you a delayed gift - weather allowing!

Am 49 in about 4 weeks ... stopped counting at 40!

JK

Seriously - your birthday today or you're ribbing me for the typo? Sorry, if I missed the joke, trying to multi task!

Mr Wilks

We're not sure, all we know at the moment is the GS arrives in Cromaty eta 6am - we'll need to check on Marine Traffic tomorrow morning.

JK

Happy Birthday? :} !

Just double checked on MT - read 6am not 6pm!

"I see Venezuala as more a threat than an opportunity"

Yes, so far not much impact globally, but Trump's involvement will be interesting.

Hot off the keyboard from Laserdisc:

Grampian sovereign supply vessel has just left Aberdeen this evg, will be at Cromarty 6 pm tomorrow evg, I also noticed this morning a sarkosky flight arrived AM ( max that could of been transported on that flight would be 19 passengers), if there is a weather window avail, I would use windy .com ,I checked the swell on that site and results are very accurate , when compared to a live heave swell report.

Yes, so Venezuala, all change, more sanctions pending? So far little effect on Brent ... could that change? Or has the market shifted so much that Saudi and Russia would lessen the impact this time around?

For IJWT and Aduk:

Brexit, noooooooooooooooooooooooo!

He's not alone!

Yes, I'm quietly optimistic about this Monday. Fair point as to why they had to abandon, though poor conditions were mentioned on Malcy's blog and the RNS.

I'm a year old than JK, he's my brother's age!

I think I might have prematurely aged Aduk in a previous post - it may remain a mystery ... there was a horrendous fall in oil price back in 2008 and also 2014.

Aduk

EC in the Albert Hall - was that Elvis Costello? Here's another one from the 80's - 'Shipbuilding ..."

A poignant subject though. My father grew up not so far from the Clyde and as a boy would go down to the river to ship watch, he eventually ended up in the Merchant Navy and here I am baffled daily by AIS squiggles and Auld lang syne and one for Mr Burns.

Monday 28th still looks possible but I'm wondering if they're going to be ultra cautious now and sit it out until a few consecutive days of good conditions offer themselves.

WW

I do vaguely remember the theme tune ... some things really are best left in the past to be fair :}
