Briefing at 0615...First few hours of this morning covering the entire Force with my crew mate at HQ. Public - please be kind.

Now for a peek inside a junior rate's cabin. Yes, most of the time there is _one_ person in here. Ensuite. Air conditioned (thermostat in each cabin). Luxury - but for 270 days a year it's home. #LifeInABlueSuit #AnyoneCanBeUncomfortable

Week 4 for the #Nelson26s , so that means Pier Cellars for Exercise Daring Leap - a spot of raft building and a dip in the water (🥶), a night around the camp fire and then a navigation exercise around the coastal path - carrying their kit of course! #LifeInABlueSuit

Just a glimpse of what our awesome chefs put it on a daily basis. Sadly, one of our officers mistook the home-made bread for his pudding and smothered it in custard. Apparently it tasted lovely!
