-remove rust from port side mod ship exterior door. -received crew restricted access code for cameras if they turn off during shut down, but if you change the shore to ship power fast it doesn't reset the CPU but if it does reset the password is written on the notes section back page of maintenance book. And in masters chat on blink. we have no way to rewind video for lost person or if we drop something without seeing at the time, we can't check.
everything else all as normal vessel behaving well, did a back track trip today Tuesday 14th due to heavy weather and low numbers allowing extra time to do so comfortably.
New set lines have been manageable with tide off wind off it's still just worked out ok so far, it's pretty aggressive on the gears though and causing many extra gear shifts to get vessel into position and then lean on each line to secure the opposing line, crew seem a bit disheartened about loosing that working line skill a few have complained but is what is is I guess, will have to start including working line tie ups in emergency drills for when we have medical emergency requiring us to dock at Hamilton, Hayman days in cyclones, port of Airlie tie ups on ship days, coral sea marina tie up on events and private charters and of course along the ships themselves on the fly as we do with new tie points each time all working lines.
have a lovely night mate
see you in the Am
