I'm back at work. The time home flew by and now I'm hoping the end of our season flies by too.

It's cold but not as cold as I thought it would be. I'm sure I'll be on a barge hating life in the cold before I know it.

We had a little reprieve - those of us who relieved others - we're down for weather so we slipped into anchor watches and are coming up to speed slowly.

I got a new float coat! I figured once I was bundled up I wouldn't want to wear a work vest. It's bright orange and ummm...puffy. I've been told I look like an Oompa Loompa. I knew I should have packed my green and white striped tights!

Here's to being back at it!
