I've been home for two weeks already, can't believe it. It feels like I signed off yesterday. We went back to the vet with the dog today. She is a lot better than last Friday, but we need to continue with her treatment, which is now four different eye-drops and salve... To make this even better she shall have some of it once every day, some twice and another one four times... Just to be safe she got painkillers as well. So, most of the day is about her medicine, lucky I don't work at the moment:-)

I'm signing on in three weeks. As it looks right now I will change ship and work at one of the sister vessels for six weeks. Since I've spent almost four years on Companion I feel happy about it, it's about time for me to see something else. Though the ships are almost identical I'm sure it will be very different anyway. This vessel has mixed crew, which is completly new for me. Looking forward to see what it's going to be like.

This picture is from our last trip. Piston overhaul in Baltimore. We had all the time in the world, so we focused on teaching the ones who haven't participated in this kind of job before. I have done it several times, but there were things I needed to improve, so I felt it was a very instructive day for me as well. I like those bigger engine jobs, too bad we don't have time to do them ourselves so often. Most of the time we just have landbased companies coming on board and doing it for us.
