During the winter on deck, I carried out usual deck maintenance: washdowns, polishing, detailing, preparing deck furniture, and assisted with Sika repairs.

During the winter in the engine room, I worked with the Chief Engineer to paint various systems and pumps, clean bilges and tanks, and also took responsibility for the engine room when the Chief was away. This involved keeping on top of tank levels and responding to alarms.
