Guess this will be my last post for the year of our lord 2008. I will be spending the Holidays restricted to the boat, thanks to a crew member that got into a fight when in town. Thing is he was not even working for the same company that I work for and has been dismissed from ever working on this boat again.
The good news is when crew change takes place I should get home in less then five hours, bad news is I am less then a three hour drive from home during the Holidays.
Before we got restricted to the boat we did get one day out as a crew. Went to a place called the Spot for lunch, unfortunately it had to be a dry lunch ( no beer ) . Still it was a nice break from the normal on the boat lunch and longer too. We are all hoping that the powers that be allow us to take another lunch off the boat Christmas day.
I was also sent to a small boat course to learn water rescue using a FRB ( Fast Rescue Boat ). As luck would have it the entire time spent in the boats was during three of the coldest, wettest, and foggiest days we have seen so far. At least I still had my winter coveralls from two years ago.
We do not have any on the boat because all were turned in last yea, when told we would not be in cold weather. I kept mine just because, and glad I did.
Thats about it for me, will soon be time to go to work on this the 24th day of Dec. 2008. You all have a Merry Christmas now...
