I'm in Engine! (And a new port too!)

Right, so now I'm in Engine. What does that mean?
I'll be spending the next six weeks training and learning a crash course of marine engineering, hoping that by the end of it, I'll be semi-competent at NOT blowing up the whole ship.

But in reality, I'm so glad I was placed in this department. It's kind of awesome having the responsibility of seafaring, and I won't be spending all day in the sun, so hopefully I won't get super sun-burnt on a daily basis.

So the past few days I've been working hard in training, but this was really an extension of the Basic Training mentioned in previous blogs. Lots of common ground, but expanding nonetheless. I also did a proper fire drill in the full gear which I was worried about, but in the end it was pretty awesome.

Tomorrow I will start engine training proper, but this time, in a new location. Yesterday, Logos Hope moored in Durres, Albania. It's pretty epic, they welcomed us with a traditional dance.

Hopefully in the coming days, we can explore this city together!
