An early wake-up

Today it hardly feels like the ship is moving. We awoke fairly quickly this morning having forgotten that we were going to start drills at 0800 (8:00am). Somehow I managed to miss that on the plan-of-the-day. The alarm went off at 6:30 and I though ... that doesn't make sense, I must have forgotten to reset the alarm after getting on the ship. Back to dream-land. That was, of course, until Jake came knocking on my door with a "wakey, wakey, wakey!"



Drills have been going well, just going over all of the safety equipment and operations we need to follow in the event of an emergency. How do we get an injuried diver out of teh water? How do we use the O2 system? How do we get them to the sick bay? How do we get them to the re-compression chamber? We go through everything.



Just after drills and lunch it became clear that we were no longer moving ... hmmm. it appears the engineers had noticed something strange and thought there might be something caught in one of the propellors. So we, put a swimmer over the side to check things out. After a brief dip by Gaetano, we got the all clear and are back on our way again. We'll see how things go from here.



We certainly can't complain. So far the food has been excellent and, when we're inside, we can hardly tell that the ship isn't still tied up at the dock. The seas have been flat calm all day, let's hope that continues ...
