Back on the MMO/PAM job in Mozambique, June, 2011

Busy second MMO and PAM rotation offshore, Mozambique

It's always great when us MMOs get contracts with multiple rotations and after a lovely break at home I returned to the Geo Caribbean to work on the same contract I was on in April. This was another wonderful rotation with more calm seas, good sightings and acoustic detections. I feel so lucky that I was able to return for another wonderful rotation offshore Mozambique where I was able to once again enjoy the amenities of the Geo Caribbean and the wildlife the offshore waters offer :)
