Nearly finished working again

Been a really busy couple of months.  Now that the G20 meeting has finished and I'm not doing shift work life can get back to normal.  I've still got another couple of weeks to go working out near the airport and then we'll head home for Christmas. Met a great bunch of people working in the events management industry which is new to me (industry not meeting great people), some technical challenges but mostly about customer service.


We've been staying at the Dockside marina which is really close to the city with the only down side being the wake created by the ferries as they go past. During the day they mostly stick to the speed limit but when they finish at midnight it seems to be a race to get back to the base for the night.  It's also nice waking up early and everything being dead calm until about 0602 when the first ferry of the day starts.

Despite the fact that Dockside is close to the city, for the last 2 weeks we've been staying in a hotel in the city which has made it easier for the late nights, early mornings and supporting different people in the hotels throughout the city.  Made a nice change to have aircon 24/7. 

No more work for this year, it's time for some boat maintenance.  I've ordered the sealant for the port side window and that'll take me a couple of days with the help of Greg. That reminds me, I need to do a post about the people on the dock here.

Anyway, time for me to start the day but I will do a catchup of the last couple of months.
