Its common for field assignments to have more than one headquarters. We like to also refer to them as a field office. Our first field office is not much in the field, but in a large city.
Dakar, Senegal is a top city on the African continent. Geographically, the most western African location makes it closest to the Americas. Logistically and historically, a great deal of human history has occurred around here. The city has the air of a place gone an eon and hints of the 21st century too. The roads between the highway and hotel are excellent. The interior of the hotel is quite stylish and modern.
Today (Sunday) was mostly an off day, we met and planned all our tasks for trials and testing. International business typically means your client who is paying for the job is also abroad. He came in met with us over coffee where project details and final logistics were outlined. Best and worse case scenarios were provided removing any bias. The outcome presented is the safest, fastest solution while taking in consideration that weather can slow everyone down.
The seafood is abundant and fabulous. Being a down day dinner was early and long. I had the largest shrimp I have ever scene. Very good stuff. Here the restaurant owner claims he can personally fetch a 4 foot grouper, right off his dock.
Tomorrow we are off to visit our survey ships. Lots of work to do.
