"Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's
The day started with a meeting, deck and engine crew got together to discuss the weeks events. We started the day with an African song about Jesus. It was a good song and it made me smile!! J After that our President and founder of the Company made a fine speech how all of us are equally important on the cause we are doing.
After the meeting we got together with the deck crew and I briefed them about the days work. It is amazing work with people who are actually doing this for charity. Everybody knows this is my first time as Chief Officer and they have helped and supported me a lot. Amazing. In these two days I have been able to get over 20 projects with many different departments. I have just been running around the ship looking for things we could do to make things here better!!! It is great feeling be able to help and see things which actually matters.
We have 70 patients here on the ship and everyday we treat several patients who need immediate assistance. It is so good to be able to help these people. As a Chief Officer I coordinate all the deck work and I am responsible of the ship safety and security. I can say I have been enjoying every second.
Today we cleaned the top deck and we also managed to chip and paint quite a lot, also on deck 8. We solved few issues, got few things sorted out and we did it with a smile. Life is amazing.
We had a fire drill today and I am the on scene coordinator. We have 4 fire teams which I coordinate and we had 3 fires on deck 7. It was challenging but I managed to do my work great, really great!! It was such a good feeling, everything went amazingly good!!! All the top guys were really pleased how we all did. Great team work. It is different work with people who are actually motivated!!
The weather is really hot but I think I get use to it later.
Tomorrow is the last work day for this week. Weekends are off!! GREAT!! J I only work from Monday to Friday. 8-17.
One of the biggest challenge here is to get clean water, we are struggling to have good water onboard and the sea is so dirty that we have to make 3 dives a week to clean our engine intakes.
So happiness…I have been so happy on these two days!! My happiness has come from my work. I have been doing work that I love. That is important piece in the happiness puzzle. There has been a huge FLOW. I haven’t had time to think anything else except how to fix things here, how to make things better. I love my work.
Now I have to go, we have community gathering at 19:30, it will be interesting…
