People that have never worked offshore sitting in the office, hundreds or sometimes thousands of miles away from the work location, trying to tell you when the vessel should sail as they've looked at the weather forecast and it looks OK. A typical conversation goes something like....
Them - "Will you be sailing on Tuesday as the forecast looks OK"?
Me - "Not sure yet. That's still 4 days away, it could all change. But we're ready to sail as soon as it's good enough"
Them - "Yes, but will that be on Tuesday"?
Me - "At the minute I've no idea. It could be Monday or it could be Wednesday, it depends what happens with the weather"
Them - "So it looks like it will be Tuesday then"?
Me - (losing the will to live) - "Yes it will be Tuesday".
Or my favourite ever conversation....
Them - "Why haven't you sailed yet"?
Me - "The weather isn't good enough"
Them - "But it's lovely here"
Me - "Yes, but you're sitting in an office in London and we're on a boat in Northern Norway with 40 knot winds".
