My first week of work is done. It was fabulous.  The pace is different, the tasks so completely polar opposite of what I have been doing for the past 6 years but yet the feeling so right.  I only worked two and half days this week. Spent one day cleaning water tanks for on the Swift- definitely motivated to do a steller job on that as that is where all the drinking water for the next 9 months is coming from. Then I spend a day and a half sanding and varnishing spars- dusty and detailed but extremely therapeutic.  The rest of the week was at Crew Retreat at Camp Quwanos up in Crofton.   2 1/2 days of workshops, mediation's, collaboration, worship and laughter.
