Was I really home?

Well home leave went fast and I had a good time. I did however feel very sad at having to leave for work. It seemedto come very fast and I really wanted to see more of my friends..

So back on the Lord Nelson! It is as always, hard work. Today had me once again up in the rgging. Twice actualy, both times wearing big boots and big knife and small multi tool (incase I need to open a bottle of wine or pick my teeth) first time to assist with the up and over for the new voyage crew. A highly anticipated part of the basic crew training on board where people are encouraged to climb to the first platform and back down to the deck. Next, I had a large Christmas tree strapped to my back! just to make the climb that bit more exciting and I took it to the very top and amazingly tied it with a propper sailor knot. lets hope it stays there over the coming voyage..
