                    <description>Hello again This has been a fantastic week in and around Melbourne. The weather has been mostly cooperating and today it was 39.5 degrees It hardly cooled down so we found ourselves seeking refuge at the beach as it was still 38 at 7 pm...Earlier this week 3 of us suited up in the VW camper van and drove the Great Ocean Road. This road heads west towards Adelaide along Australias southern coast</description>

                    <description>Hello againI39m now in Melbourne my time in Brisbane has come and gone and things went very well. I spent a few days sight seeing and a few days offroading and camping on Fraser Island.After my friend Mel left for Sydney I was staying in a hostel right in the thick of downtown in Brisbane. It turned out to be quite an awesome place and asides from the obvious smell of BO it was in a perfect </description>

                    <description>The last time I had blogged I was still at sea. The last month of my contract went well. But basically nothing interesting happened. I didn39t leave the ship but I had my parents and a friend onboard. My parents planned their cruise for late in the fall to avoid the brunt of the hurricane season. But they happened to be onboard for our encounter with Hurricane Sandy. Which was hands down the w</description>

                    <description>Hello Hello Pardon my lack of updates and ignore your frustration to those who I promised an update a couple of week ago because an update this is. That being said life isnt as interesting as it was as a cadet and theres only so much interest I can talk about.The last month I spent most of my time on the night watch this had me being on the bridge from just after midnight to 830 in the mo</description>

                    <description>Its been quite an interesting month here back at sea. For those of you who dont know I finished my third year of school in the end of July and am now a licensed marine officer A few weeks after the last exam which was oral I found myself back on the Oasis of the Seas. The nicest thing about coming back to a ship which I had been on before was how easy the transition was. Being able to fo</description>

                    <description>You work all day every day spend a few hours ashore once in a while and the next thing you know another month has gone byThe last month has been one of the more interesting onboard actually. A week after my last blog update was Halloween. Now being onboard this ship was surprisingly interesting. The creativity of the crew was astounding and the guest participation was amazing.

                    <description>I must say that the past month has been rather uneventful. No reroutes for hurricanes and the weather is starting to cool down. Today its only 17C the coldest temperature Ive experienced since I left Vancouver behind in sub zero temps 6 months ago. I think its fantastic and Its oddly humorous to see people wearing sweaters toques and complaining that its too cold.That said ev</description>

                    <description>Where to start where to start Its been nearly a month since Ive posted a blog and Im still finding it hard to have an interesting posting. But here goesIt seems like every other week there is a tropical disturbance that we end up having to avoid even last week we did a backwards cruise so that a storm would pass by us. This week is looking perfect but next week might be yet another </description>

                    <description>Well I have absolutely no idea where the time is going. Its surprising that its been over a month since my last post. I was going to say that not much has happened but thats far from the truth. Lots of things have happened just not a lot of it in trips ashore. In no particular order here goesOne of the Eastern Caribbean cruises our planned voyage didnt go over too well. This was be</description>

                    <description>Hello hello Ive now been onboard the Oasis for 100 days. Which means that coupled with my seatime on the Independence I only have 132 more days until Im finished on the Oasis. But more importantly Ill be finished as a cadet forever Life here is interesting as always. Seems that every day offers something completely different. Last week in Fort Lauderdale I went with one of the fire te</description>

                    <description>First things first Sorry that its been ages since my last blog. I promise that this one is going to make up for it.Of the people that email me most of them ask me what the craziest thing that Ive done so far is and normally I really have to scratch my head to think up something. But I can outright say that its now a no brainer. Last week the Captain let me take the control of the vesse</description>

                    <description>Hello again everyone Things have been going very well here. Ive been meeting lots of interesting people learning tons and having fun doing it.  This blog is going to sound all over the map as I dont have many things to go very in depth about. As the Oasis of the Seas is so damn big it needs some big lifeboats. The lifeboats are so big that they hold as many people as the Seabus in Vancouv</description>

                    <description>Ive been onboard for a couple weeks now and figured it was time for an update. Getting to Miami was crazy the flight had a layover in Dallas which is a really nice airport btw. But American Airlines is the worst airline in the world I had to pay for my luggage no food on the plane included or to buy and for some reason the airline decided to delay my connecting flight to wait for all th</description>

                    <title>Shipping out again.</title>
                    <description>So I'm off to sea to acquire the remaining amount of seatime I need as a cadet. This saturday I board the Oasis of the Seas in Fort Lauderdale. She and the Allure of the seas are the worlds largest cruise ships. Last year when I was on the Independence I was overwhelmed at just how large that ship was and the Oasis is 40 larger. I'll be based out of Florida going to the Bahamas Haiti St Thomas</description>

                    <description>Well I'm back on the wet coast. Having seen only 5 days of rain in my months at sea and coming back to 5 days straight of rain I'm beginning to remember why people think it rains alot in Vancouver. Because it does Having these rainy days has given me the time to go through my photos decide on a number to upload that isn't too ridiculous and mess around in photoshop a little bit and get the best</description>

                    <description>I know its been quite some time since Ive updated this here blog but Ive been quite busy with work and entries all about work are pretty boring to write and read. Now that thats out of the way A few weeks ago I decided I was going to go ashore in the ports that I hadnt yet because of scheduling. These mostly ended up being tender ports. Cannes was first up It was pretty much just</description>

                    <description>Hello againIm currently somewhere off the coast of western Africa headed towards Spain. The cruise Im currently on stopped at 3 of the Canary Islands which is awesome. But Ill expand on that later. Because Im actually doing work on the bridge and working alongside officers Ive been able to make more of a hello hey kind of relationship with them. So in Vigo I went out with a</description>

Turns out it was a little bit of a further walk than I had envisioned After getting slightly lost and buying a 6 pack for 2 euros I found myself back at the ship. But not before I had walked 7 kilometers Every time we enter or leave Lisbon harbour we have to go under the 3rd longest</description>
