Today was busy with Boat School, Doc School, jet drive servicing and another extended lunch break with a long walk to Deadmans in the snow in my plastic to see how they would wear in. Oh and also 15km on the bike while watching the Burma section of a World at War and packing my bag for tomorrow holidays!

When I went into work at 7:30am it was dark and snowing lightly

Servicing the jet units – buckets are off and removing the tailpipe to have a look at the impellors.

The dam where our drinking water supply comes from at the base of Bore Valley.

The mountains reflected in Maiviken Lake it was a beautiful view from Deadmans.

Not many people get to go on a walk like this on their lunch break! I rushed on home just in time for boat school where we did position fixes. The guys did a great job despite my very bad lecturing technique. After boat school was Doc school where Sam did a much better job of lecturing than me and went through the contents of our grab bags.

Fully packed with crampons, ice axe, snow shoes, snow shovel, avalanche probe, avalanche transciever, tent poles, tent pegs, stove, kerosene, ski poles, expedition sleeping bag, down jacket, thermarest the list goes on and on!

Four days of food packed by day. Lots of goodies I brought in my p-box from the US for camping like crystal light and nestles hot chocolate.

Have a great rest of the week and weekend I will be back on Sunday night or monday morning.
