Well the day has finally come when we start the workup, I know whatever we do the staff will pickup us for things. We have to stay cheerful and play the game though.
I had a major scare last week after a call from Debbie but the ship were really good and got me ashore so that I could get home. Thankfully the scan went OK and everything seems fine. I just wish I could be home to give Debbie more support as it can not be easy for her looking after the little one by herself. I had a taste of it when Beth was two weeks old and Debbie went away for a week at sea but I know it can't be easy as I am away for months.
We had our first day of OST today with Deck Officer aviation and ROR exams. We all passed the aviation exam and are just awaiting the results for the ROR exam so fingers crossed.
We sail for the MASC (material and safety check) so it is going to be a busy day but the rest of the week shouldn't be too bad as it is all harbour serials. However next week is going to be a very different story. Mind you at the end of the day we only have two sea weeks and then things should calm down a bit. There is light at the end of the tunnel though as we are planning to get Elizabeth christened onboard after OST when we are alongside in Portland which will hopefully go smoothly.
Anyway I am not sure when I will next get to write my blog but I really should try to write more often.
