Sydney Opera House

Sydney Opera House

This is how I got totally burned my first day in Australia.
Since then, I’ve been indoors: at sea the first day, and then at training all morning, and now in the Seaman’s Center in Tasmania. People are playing pool, Skyping home or downloading movies for later.

The fire/safety training happens every contract. Of course, we’re all talking about the Costa Concordia, which was grounded about a week ago. We’re thinking of the families of the people who died or are still missing. But we’re also sending good thoughts to the crew members who successfully evacuated about 4,000 people from a listing ship in the dark!

We’ll be at sea for the next three or four days, but I promise to have some good pictures when I get back!
