‘Make hay etc..’
I did that’s why I’ve been able to relax at home instead of working for a low rate.. I’ve been off since Jan and had a great break.. More jobs coming thru now and I’m off to work in 2 weeks time.. Rate is okay, location is good and the vessel has excellent facilites.. I understand that guys (especially those newish to the industry) often don’t have a big nest egg or they have Monthly outgoings that need to be met.. If you gotta work.. you gotta work.
The biggest problem I see isn’t the quiet start so much as the crap exchange rate.. This effectively means that many of the jobs I’m offered aren’t worth considering.. Purely because other work is better when paid in USD or Euros..
The season is just starting and there are plenty of seats that need filling.. A little resistance from guys will hopeful persuade the UK Companies that to get guys they need to bring their rates inline with the rest of the World…
Oh and you must know some different guys in Pattaya to me.. Cos all the blokes I know are at work.. and not for peanuts either.. 😛
