Hey fellow CanReefers!
How's it goin'!
Maybe this is a silly and unnecessary post, but regardless, I feel the need to extend a preliminary explanation.
When I joined this message board last May, some of you may recall that I mentioned my job takes me away from home on a 4 week in/ 4 week out rotation.
(I work for the Coast Guard, on the ships. No harm in revealing that, I suppose.)
[Note to Christy, if your reading this: This is how I am aware of PBS Nanaimo. I've worked out in the field with many PBS people. Beamish, Saunders, Boutillier, Anton, Ford, Lessard? (Did I get that right? Abalone.) To name a few.]
Anyhoo....I am most pleased to announce that I have secured a shore based assignment here at our Victoria Base.
It is for two years and, although I will still be on a 4 week on/ 4 week off rotation, (working 12 hours/day during the on cycle), I will be home for 2 years!!!!
(Unless I go to Hawaii, or something, on an off cycle for some snorkeling.
).
One of the benefits of being home, obviously, is that I will now be able to become involved with CanReef and the Reefing Community on a more
consistent basis, which I am really looking forward to.
(Not to mention just being home with my Reef Tank and continue to learn on a steady basis, is a big plus.
).
So essentially, the point of this post is just to explain, in advance, why it is that you'll be seeing more consistent participation from JR. (Isn't that silly?)
Now I can hardly wait to get my tank drilled and get that sump goin' again!
Be on the lookout in November for a Truck & Tank Move Recruitment post, (if I may be so bold as to borrow a line from Brad).
Oh. One other thing....
When's the next Island Get Together?
Cheers and happy reefing
