One of the great advantages of working on a ship is that I only have to commute to work once a month. However, since you can live wherever you want on your off time-in my case Montreal, that commute can be a long one. Heading back to work this week will involve a metro ride to the Central Station, a Via Train to Brockville, a walk to a nearby hotel and then an eight hour bus ride the next morning to the ship in Windsor.
Then it is right to work for another 28 days.
The return to work can be a somber time, being away from family and friends for a month but this year I was fortunate to be off for Christmas and New Year's. I think the entire crew will be reasonably content to return to work and pay off some bills while the crew going home will be somewhat down about arriving home just as the holidays are ending.
But then it will be our turn to work the holidays next year. Yin and Yang
