Completed my first two days as relief skipper of the 13 m catamaran Aristocat. Peak season for Christmas parties, 16 property managers on Wednesday and 20 builders yesterday.

Pleased I did the 8am to 3pm cruise yesterday as the twilight cruise had to weather a line of heavy thunderstorms. Really happy with my work commute as Aristocat is moored 3 doors down the canal so I can walk to work in 90 seconds!
