Splicing Variety

So this week ive been learning how to splice line, making loops and putting thimbles into line. Its all in preparation for when we head to the Bahamas next week. We have also been setting up the underwater hydraulics drill we will be using to put in mooring pins. The plan is to arrive at a dive site, drop anchor and while someone guides a dive two others will dive down and drill into the ocean floor, put in a pin and cement it in place. We can then attach the mooring lines, which we are currently splicing together, which we can then moor to when we return to the site. Its all in an effort to reduce the damage of dive boats in the Bahamas.

On the other side of the coin ive been offered the Chef position for when we sail to the Dominican Republic in January for the whale watching trips. Im currently I talks about wages because the added responsibility obviously requires a better rate of pay J

We are currently on route back to port after yet another successful charter, I nearly got head butted by a 2 meter Eagle Ray the other day which ws nice and I spotted my first Arrow crab, its all good fun but the variety of it all is the best part for me.
