Cyclone Magda 'may get stronger.' Magda the reason I'm sitting on this rig boat anchored in Darwin. We got halfway to the rig the other day and had to turn back or it would have been right on top of us. Hoping everyone in the area is safe! I'm glad to see that Neville calmed down! |

yup, they evacuated the one iron ore town earlier, it should be over with so you can go to work soon, do they pay you while you're *waiting*? |

I saw that they had evacuated the mining town, Lisa. Looks like it may hit hardest there but it looks like it's now losing strength. We do get paid. It's a five week swing so it doesn't matter what we're doing. Kind of a funny story with that. One of the guys told me (very jokingly) that all the problems lately must be my fault because women on ships are bad luck. (I am the only female on board). I simply told him, "I'm casual so not for me it's not!" Heh
