Just come back to Tasmania for a Elements of Shipboard Safety (ESS) course. Yesterday we heard something about Safe Work Practices. It seems that Austrailians like formes and paper work. For everything you need a permission or you have to fill out a form.

Today there was a bit of swimming on the program. We learned how to survive in hot and cold water, how to handle life rafts and other safty equipment. It was a great fun. After some basic survival methods in water, we simulated a ship abandonment. In the dark and with rain.

Tomorrow there is a bit of fire fighting on the program, then I'm ready for a trip on the FTV Bluefin.
