Afrika being 30 degrees warm and seas calm. For most of us it is work as normal, but the galley staff really provided us with an excellent variety for the Christmas buffe'.
A few weeks more to complete this survey, then off to deeper water(as if 1800m is not deep enough) to avoid being attacked, before heading to another country for mobilization. Increase of attacks now around Christmas. Calm sea makes it easier for the pirates. Day before yesterday they attacked a vessel two hours away from here. Kidnapped 4 crew(Captain incl.[gulp..]). A few days earlier 5 more crew were kidnapped from another attacked vessel. Gulf of Aden has calmed down, Pirate hot spot is now West Africa, Gulf of Guinea. Trusting "the installation" is on the ball. Surveilance and protection weize

Naagra veckor kvar till detta projekt aer avslutat, sedan styr vi kosan ut emot djupare vatten(som om 1800mtr inte aer djupt nog) foer att undvika att bli attackerade. Sedan styr vi emot ett annat land foer att mobilisera infoer naesta project.
En oekning av attackerna nu runt juletid. Blankt vatten goer det enkelt foer piraterna. I foerrgaar blev ett fartyg attackerat 2 timmar fraan oss, 4 man kidnappade, includerat skepparn[svaelj]. Naagra dagar tidigare tog dom 5 man, efter att ha attackerat ett annat fartyg. I Aden bukten har har pirat verksamheten avstannat. Pirate "Hot Spot" aer nu Vaest Africa Guinea gulfen.
