I'm three months into this deal and the routine doesn't seem to change much from day to day. I recently began a freshman english composition class onboard that I go to three times a week. It's a nice break from the monotony of wake up, go to watch, eat, work, shower, sleep, wake up, go to watch.........

I've also been practicing playing my harmonica a few minutes every day which is, believe it or not, paying off. I can play some single note songs well and hope to learn some more complex 2 and 3 note songs and different styles- particularly blues.

This picture is from a five days ago whilst the rhib was being hoisted from the churning waters of the North Arabian Sea to the davit after early morning small boat operations during which I was the "boat engineer".
